Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• CPA strongly preferred.
• 4-5 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within a corporate or SaaS environment.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, financial reporting, and month-end close processes.
• Experience preparing complex account reconciliations, journal entries, and variance analyses.
• Experience working in a multi-entity or high-growth organization preferred.
• ERP experience required; experience with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, SAP, or similar systems is a plus.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and data analysis.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What We're Looking For

• A hands-on accountant who enjoys owning their work from start to finish.
• Someone with strong technical accounting skills who can also think operationally.
• An accounting professional who thrives in a collaborative, high-growth environment.
• A continuous improvement mindset with an interest in automation, systems, and process optimization.
• A future accounting leader who wants to grow into increasingly complex accounting and finance responsibilities.
