Accounting Manager / Controller

Salary: $100,000 - $115,000
Location: Teterboro, NJ (100% On-Site)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Ability to make a meaningful impact by strengthening processes and internal controls
• Work closely with external CPA partners and gain exposure to the full financial operations of the business

• Prepare financial reporting and coordinate with the outside CPA on accounting and tax-related matters
