Job description

Bring your inner Mathlete to our Finance team!

The Opportunity

In school, you weren’t just good at math – you were an Iron Man-level mathlete! The thing you look forward to most about going out with friends for dinner is calculating how much everyone owes and how much to tip (of course, doing it all in your head). While everyone else is looking forward to spring, you’re celebrating tax season. Sound familiar? Then you might just be the person we’re looking for.

We’re looking for a top-notch accountant with a love of all things financial to join our finance team to support business leaders and stakeholders by providing actionable and reliable financial information and reports.

• You are hyper-organized – there’s no clutter in your workspace or in your brain.
• You have the natural ability to reduce a complex concept or task into something that is manageable and clearly interpreted.
