  • Review, analyze, and validate financial data; investigate variances and resolve discrepancies with complete supporting documentation
  • Identify and implement opportunities to strengthen controls, streamline processes, and enhance reporting accuracy
  • Support internal and external auditors while reinforcing a strong control environment across accounting operations
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (required)
  • CPA designation or active pursuit strongly preferred
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with demonstrated process improvement
  • Experience in multi-entity or complex organizational structures, particularly in growing organizations
  • Strong proficiency in accounting systems and enabling technologies
