  • Assist with ERP reporting, financial analysis, and budget-to-actual reporting
  • Support audits, tax filings, process improvements, and internal controls initiatives

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 3+ years of accounting experience with hands-on ownership of month-end close, journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations
  • Strong balance sheet reconciliation experience, including bank reconciliations and resolving accounting discrepancies
  • Experience with ERP systems; NetSuite experience is highly preferred
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting principles
  • Advanced Excel skills and an interest in leveraging automation and AI tools to improve efficiency
