Compliance & Controls

• Ensure accounting activities adhere to company policies, internal controls, and applicable accounting standards
• Assist with audit preparation by providing documentation and responding to auditor inquiries
• Support compliance with tax and regulatory requirements as needed

Process Improvement & Collaboration

• Identify opportunities to streamline accounting processes and improve data accuracy
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Finance, Operations, AP/AR, Payroll) to ensure financial data integrity
• Contribute to system improvements, implementations, or documentation of accounting procedures

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in an accounting or finance role
• Solid understanding of general accounting principles and month-end close processes
• Proficiency with accounting systems and Microsoft Excel
