• Strong command of GAAP and financial reporting
• Bilingual (Spanish & English) highly preferred
• A proactive, hands‑on leader who thrives in a fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Direct exposure to executive leadership and strategic initiatives
• Opportunity to make a measurable impact on a growing organization

• Work with a stable, reputable firm in the heart of Miami
