We’re looking for someone who is not only technically strong, but who also enjoys leading people, solving problems, and improving the way things are done.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field


• CPA preferred


• 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience


• Background in public accounting, corporate accounting, or a combination of both


• Strong knowledge of GAAP, IFRS, financial reporting, and internal controls
