Ensure prepared-by-client schedules and supporting audit evidence are complete and delivered on schedule.

What you bring Public Company & Technical Accounting Experience 8 to 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 3 to 5 years in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or SEC Reporting leadership role at a public company. Direct, hands-on experience preparing and reviewing Forms 10-K and 10-Q, and managing SOX Section 404 compliance. Prior experience taking a company through or operating shortly after an IPO or de-SPAC transition is a strong plus.

External Audit Background Public accounting experience at a Big 4 or other national firm, audit or technical accounting advisory, is strongly preferred. Experience serving retail, e-commerce, or consumer products clients is a plus.
