- Perform reconciliations, investigate variances, and resolve reconciling items.
- Analyze financial results, prepare executive-level commentary, and present key business drivers to leadership.
- Identify and implement process improvements that enhance efficiency, strengthen internal controls, and improve the overall accounting function.
- Partner with business operations to streamline end-to-end financial processes and eliminate inefficiencies.
- Support external audits by preparing high-quality supporting documentation.
- Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for key accounting processes.
- Demonstrated proficiency in fixed asset accounting, including asset capitalization and reconciliations, and the ability to lead calls with project managers to analyze spend and monitor project status for timely capitalization.
What You Bring

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting.
- Strong understanding of financial accounting, general ledger activities, and month-end close processes.

- Demonstrated experience driving process improvements and operational efficiencies.

- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
What Will Make You Successful
- Experience with SAP, Tableau, AI tools, and/or audit engagements is a plus and you’ll stand out.
- You enjoy transforming processes—not just maintaining them.
- You are comfortable presenting financial insights to leadership and translating complex data into meaningful business recommendations.
- You take ownership, follow through on commitments, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- You naturally mentor others and enjoy helping teammates develop.
- You leverage technology to improve accuracy, efficiency, and decision-making.
