  • Participate in system implementations and other finance-related projects

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 3+ years of accounting, month-end close, audit, or finance operations experience
  • Strong understanding of financial statements, reconciliations, journal entries, internal controls, and U.S. GAAP
  • Strong Excel skills, including PivotTables and lookup functions
