Partner directly with the Controller to support day-to-day accounting priorities and maintain continuity within the finance function.

Contribute to a smooth transition of accounting responsibilities by stepping into key senior-level duties with minimal ramp-up.

Work effectively in a hybrid schedule, collaborating onsite and remotely as business needs require.

Requirements 5+ years of accounting experience, including work at the senior accountant level.

Proven ability to manage month-end close activities independently in a fast-paced environment.

Strong background in general ledger accounting, journal entry preparation, and account reconciliation.

Experience reviewing balance sheets, income statements, and related financial data for accuracy and completeness.
