  • 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
