What We Are Looking For

We\'re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes.

There are a couple must haves, but we will keep that list short:

• You are working towards a Bachelor\'s degree in Business or Economics (specializing in Accounting is considered an asset but not required)
• You have an analytical mind, and enjoy finding solutions to complex problems
• You love numbers, analyzing large datasets, and building financial models
• You like working in a fast paced, collaborative environment with smart and interesting people
