Support day-to-day accounting operations and month-end close activities
Review the work of fellow Senior Accountants with a collaborative and constructive approach
Help implement and refine accounting processes and internal controls
Assist with technical accounting research and ensure US GAAP compliance

6 years of progressive accounting experience, including team leadership
Strong understanding of US GAAP and ability to conduct technical research
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Hands-on experience with internal controls design and execution
A proactive, problem-solving mindset with attention to detail and the bigger picture
