• Reconcile the loan amortization schedule against every lender statement
• Reconcile foreign-exchange gains as Buffalo, NY operations settle abroad

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal

• Comfort working in a fast-paced, small-but-mighty environment
• Fast-paced problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
