  • Have a strong sense of ownership and drive process improvements and optimize efficiencies in the accounting and reporting areas, including elimination or streamlining of manual or non-effective tasks, and using Netsuite or AI (Artificial Intelligence) to streamline reporting.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to identify problems, process gaps, and propose reasonable and creative solutions to improve processes, including opportunities for automating manual processes or activities within a process.
  • Provide GAAP guidance to the team and be comfortable with accounting research for updated accounting pronouncements and draft accounting memos, if needed.
  • Lead the company’s annual audit.
  • Work closely with Financial Reporting, FP&A, and external partners to support regular and ad-hoc reporting.
  • Collaborate on special projects as needed.

  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in software and/or manufacturing.
