• Mentor junior staff and help strengthen the team’s capabilities.
• Support automation and system enhancements that make our processes smarter and faster.
• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and boost efficiency.
• Contribute to audits, tax reporting, and internal controls that keep us compliant and confident.

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
• 3–5+ years of accounting experience (financial institution or credit union experience is a plus).
• Strong knowledge of GAAP, regulatory reporting, and internal controls.
• Proficiency in accounting systems and Excel, with strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• A collaborative mindset, clear communication style, and commitment to integrity.
