• Oversee general ledger activities, journal entries, and account reconciliations across US and international entities
• Prepare internal reporting and ad hoc financial analyses to support leadership decision-making
• Oversee international, federal, state, and local tax compliance in partnership with external advisors, along with other regulatory filings
• Own the roadmap for financial systems, including leading ERP implementation
• Lead audits and serve as primary liaison with external auditors
• Build, mentor, and scale the accounting team as the company grows

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA

• Direct experience leading a NetSuite implementation

Compensation

The expected salary range for this role is $200,000 - $256,000, determined by location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity.

Why Become a Marqvisioner
