  • Assist with global consolidation and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Support audits by preparing documentation, schedules, and responding to auditor inquiries.
  • Identify and drive process improvements to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and internal controls.
  • Partner with business leaders to analyze financial trends and provide insights that support decision-making.

  • 4–7 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a mix of public accounting (Big Four or mid-tier) and industry.

  • Proven problem-solving skills, with the ability to address accounting challenges and business questions with creativity and analytical rigor.
  • Advanced Excel and financial systems skills (e.g., Netsuite, Workday, Oracle, SAP). Experience with data visualization tools is a plus.
