Scope & Impact

This individual will help oversee the company's day-to-day accounting and administrative operations while serving as a key partner to the CFO.

• Partner with operational teams on reporting, analysis, and issue resolution
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and other CFO-led initiatives

The Right Background

• 3+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong understanding of the general ledger, close process, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Payroll and supervisory experience are highly valued
• Organized, resourceful, and comfortable managing several responsibilities simultaneously
• Able to investigate issues, determine solutions, and work without constant direction
