- Lead Consolidated Audit preparation and act as day-to-day contact for external audit fieldwork. Help the Controller with Statutory Audit preparation by facilitating sample selection and responding to Auditor queries in a timely manner
- Strengthen internal controls, document processes, and drive automation of manual close activity
What We're Looking For- CPA required
- Public accounting background is strongly preferred. This would include Assurance experience at a national or Big Four firm, ideally with a move into industry, or a candidate ready to make that move now
- Exceptional technical depth under US GAAP; able to research a position, document it, and defend it to auditors
- 5+ years relevant experience including demonstrated supervision or review of others' work
- Experience managing a team with excellent problem-solving and research skills

Indicators of Success We're looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in "skills and experiences". It's more important to us to find candidates who can display
