What are the responsibilities and job description for the Financing and Accounting Associate position at LAKE WEEKEND WEAR LLC?
About LAKE
LAKE started because two friends had a wild dream and the grit to see it through.

For us, these comfortable moments are nights at home with our families, weekend escapes with friends, a dose of me-time after a long day, and holidays that gather everyone together.
