Reporting to the Controller, you will lead a small team and be hands-on across the full accounting cycle—from month-end close and GL reconciliations to process improvement and cross-functional reporting.

- NetSuite & Systems Administration: Administer NetSuite including saved searches, GL audits, and maintenance of organized, audit-ready financial records; translate raw financial data into actionable business insights
- Daily Operations: Oversee daily transactions: cash management, AP/AR, banking, payroll review, accrued purchases reconciliation, and monthly foreign exchange rate updates for multi-currency operations
- Financial Reporting: Assist in preparation of financial statements and variance analysis, support Income and Indirect Tax requests and compliance as needed for international entities
- Team Leadership: Directly supervise 2–3 team members (including remote staff): set goals, delegate effectively, review work, provide coaching, and conduct performance reviews
Preferred Skills, Experience, & Qualifications:
- 1-2 years experience at the Accounting Manager level
- BS degree in Accounting or Finance; Accounting certification (e.g. CMA or CPA) is a plus but not required

- Experience with driving a hard-close deadline; our goal is a 10-day close cycle
- Multi-entity accountingexperience including intercompany transactions, consolidations and cost allocation framework
- Experience with multi-currency accounting and monthly foreign exchange rate processes
- Strong people-management skills: delegation, feedback, coaching for continuous improvement
- Ability to prioritize competing demands, meet deadlines, and operate effectively in ambiguity
- Comfortable establishing new processes and working through complex or conflicting information
