• Execute judgment and ensure the right decisions are reached to accurately report financial results.
• Drive projects, provide accounting guidance and often serve as first point of contact for finance and business partners to resolve issues.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in creating process improvements with automation and analysis
• Experience in identifying, leading, and executing opportunities to improve, automate, standardize or simplify finance or business tools and processes
• ACA, CIMA, ACCA or similar credentials required
• Experience of a monthly close cycle, periodic financial reporting and related analytical analysis with a knowledge of various GAAP accounting rules including US GAAP and IFRS

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Excellent analytical skills
• Experience working with a fast-paced, high-tech start-up or complex company
