• Encourage ownership, continuous improvement, and professional growth

Cross‑Functional Partnership

What you'll Bring:

• 5–8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public company and/or public accounting experience
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and the monthly close process
• Experience supporting SOX controls, audits, or environments with identified control deficiencies
