• Strong technical knowledge of US GAAP (including experience with ASC 606 and ASC 842) and solid understanding of internal control frameworks (SOX compliance)


• Proven track record of managing full-cycle audit engagements, preparing complex audit workpapers, and liaising directly with audit partners/clients


• Proficiency with modern ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, SAP) and advanced Microsoft Excel skills (financial modeling, complex formulas, pivot tables)


• Proactive mindset with strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking abilities; high agility in adapting to complex accounting scenarios in a tech-driven environment


• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate complex accounting concepts to cross-functional non-finance business partners


• Interest in leveraging modern technology and AI tools to continuously improve accounting operations, speed up close cycles, and optimize workflows
