- Serve as a key point of contact for year-end financial statement audits, quarterly reviews, and internal audit and SOX requests
- Proactively recommend and implement process improvements to simplify, standardize and streamline accounting efforts
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, FP&A and other teams to understand and support business processes, ensure proper accounting treatment, and resolve reconciling differences
- Participate in special projects, including system implementations, process enhancements, and ad-hoc financial analyses
Who You Are:
- 3+ years of progressive accounting experience , preferably within a public company or Big 4, and hold a BS/BA degree in Accounting
- CPA-certified (or on track to be certified)
- A strong team player with a positive attitude
- Strong technical accounting background with a knowledge of US GAAP, SOX 404, and SEC reporting standards
- A proactive approach to problem identification and remediation solutions, and excellent written and oral communication skills, including the ability to interact and build relationships across all levels of the organization
- Self-motivated and able to work under pressure, consistently meeting deliverables and deadlines while managing multiple tasks
- Strong organization and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic environment
- Flexible and analytical, with meticulous attention to detail
- Experience with Netsuite, FloQast, and Workiva; familiarity with Smart View is a plus, but not required
