The ideal candidate will understand complex accounting processes including revenue recognition, close, consolidation, intercompany accounting, procure-to-pay and order-to-cash, while also being comfortable getting hands‑on with systems.

Strong system experience.

Just as important, you’ll need to be a strong collaborator. This organization wants someone who can listen to Accounting and Finance stakeholders, understand their needs, work through differing viewpoints and translate those requirements into practical systems solutions.
