• Ensure strong financial controls and clean, reliable data
• Work with Head of Finance on budgeting, FP&A & other ad hoc projects

Build and Improve Financial Systems & Processes

• Partner with the Head of Finance to design and implement scalable finance systems and workflows

Support Broader Finance & FP&A Efforts

Who You Are

• 4–7 years of experience in accounting, finance, or related roles
• Strong foundation in accounting (GAAP, month-end close, financial statements)
• Comfortable owning A/P, A/R, and operational finance workflows end-to-end
• Interested in going beyond accounting into broader finance and business operations
