• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, internal controls, and reporting accuracy.
• Partner with accounting leadership and cross-functional teams to resolve accounting questions and support business needs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, with a strong accounting foundation.
• 3–5+ years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within a corporate accounting environment.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, general ledger accounting, and fundamental accounting principles.
• Ability to confidently explain and apply debits, credits, journal entries, and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Hands‑on experience with month‑end close and account analysis.
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with accounting or ERP systems.
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and take ownership of assigned responsibilities.
• Strong communication skills and a willingness to learn new processes and industry‑specific accounting practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a multi‑entity or complex corporate accounting environment.
• CPA or CPA‑track candidates are welcome but certification is not required.
• Experience supporting process improvements or accounting system enhancements.
• Exposure to project accounting, cost accounting, or work‑in‑progress accounting is a plus, but not required.
