About You

• You’re a seasoned professional. You have 6+ years of Accounting experience, some of which has been in fast-paced, growing companies with international subsidiaries. You are comfortable talking auditors through things and supporting their needs during an audit. You might have even dabbled in accounting for mergers and acquisitions.
• You are an effective team builder. You have 3+ years in a Hands-on manager role. You have a passion for managing people, developing talent, and building a resilient team culture.
• You’re resourceful. You love a challenge, and you enjoy getting creative to solve problems. You are highly adaptable and energized by new challenges.
• You obsess over the details. You’re analytical, methodical, and work with a high degree of accuracy. You are detail-oriented and care about the nitty gritty, but you can step back and review the big picture. You know which pennies are worth chasing and which ones aren’t.
• You wear many hats. You’re eager to take on any project that comes your way no matter how big or how small and you never shy away from rolling up your sleeves and helping the team.
• You love to write. Whether it’s a quick conversation in Slack or a new policy we’re implementing, writing is your main form of communication.
• You’ve got the credentials. Ideally you are a CPA or CMA.

Things You Might Do

• Develop and grow our Accounting Team.
• Be a mentor, coach, and advocate for your growing team when it’s needed.
• Assist in and advise on day-to-day accounting operations.
