ABOUT YOU

You are a hands‑on, detail‑oriented accounting leader who thrives in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments. You bring deep SEC reporting expertise, strong technical accounting judgment, and the ability to translate complex topics into clear, investor‑ready disclosures.

• Draft and review financial statements, footnotes, MD&A, and other required disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules.
• Monitor new and evolving SEC rules, disclosure requirements, and accounting standards, and assess impact on the Company.

Technical Accounting and Disclosure

• Partner with Technical Accounting on complex accounting areas (e.g., revenue recognition, equity‑based compensation).
• Translate complex accounting conclusions into clear, concise disclosures appropriate for public filings.
• Support preparation of accounting position papers and disclosure memos as needed.

SOX and Internal Controls

• Support SOX 404 compliance related to external reporting controls.
• Ensure strong documentation and execution of disclosure controls and procedures (DCPs).
• Coordinate with Internal Audit and external advisors on control testing and remediation.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Legal on disclosure language, risk factors, and governance‑related filings.
• Collaborate with FP&A and IR on earnings releases, earnings scripts, and investor materials.
• Support earnings cycles, including tie‑outs, variance analysis, and review of earnings materials.

Process Improvement and Leadership

• Drive continuous improvement in external reporting processes, timelines, and documentation.
• Assist in building scalable reporting processes as the Company grows.
• Mentor and review work prepared by staff and managers, as applicable.

QUALIFICATIONS

• CPA required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (Master’s preferred).
• 7–10+ years of progressive accounting experience.
• Strong background in SEC reporting and U.S. GAAP.
• Experience in public accounting (Big 4 or national firm) and/or public company reporting.
• Hands‑on experience preparing Forms 10‑K and 10‑Q.
• Excellent written communication skills with demonstrated ability to draft clear disclosures.
