• Proactively evaluate operational workflows for efficiencies, lead complex improvement projects, and develop standardized procedures and documentation.

To Be Successful in This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; Master’s/MBA or CPA designation is a plus.
• 3-5 years of General Ledger and Financial Accounting. Public accounting experience is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and complex data set manipulation).
• Strong foundational understanding of GAAP, deep analytical aptitude, and the ability to interpret and explain financial variances clearly to non-accounting partners.
• Proven track record of cross-functional collaboration, with demonstrated leadership in driving projects, developing processes, and training peers.
• An adaptable, proactive problem-solver who asks critical questions, challenges existing workflows, and grows alongside an evolving business.
