• Experience: 6–8 years of combined accounting experience, including foundational years in Big 4 or national public accounting firms, paired with technical accounting or financial reporting experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Technical Skills:
  • Expert-level mastery of US GAAP, technical research tools (e.g., Bloomberg Tax, Checkpoint), and financial statement disclosures.
