• Work out of our Charlotte office five days a week, alongside the Executive team

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 3-5+ years of accounting experience, including exposure to a full close process, ideally in a SaaS or startup environments
• MS in Accounting, MBA, and/or CPA preferred
• Solid US GAAP knowledge and books that would hold up to an audit
• Comfort working in a modern ERP or accounting system (we use NetSuite)
• Experience working through an external audit from the company side
