Proven experience supporting organizations with 20+ locations and/or workforces exceeding 800 employees is highly desirable.

Technical & Digital Proficiency

Deep understanding of US GAAP, financial controls, and corporate accounting practices.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including demonstrated success automating manual processes and improving reporting efficiency.
Strong interest in leveraging AI automation, emerging technologies, and digital tools to modernize and streamline accounting operations.
