• Maintain accounting policies, process documentation, and SOX-compliant internal controls, ensuring adherence to US GAAP and audit readiness.

• Support additional assignments and ad hoc projects as needed.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; an active CPA license is highly preferred.

• 7+ years of progressive experience in intercompany accounting, cost accounting, and/or public accounting.

• Deep technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SOX internal control requirements.

• Experience using ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, or Oracle Fusion.

• Advanced Excel skills are required; experience with using SQL for data analysis is a plus.

• Experience adopting AI-driven products to automate or optimize manual accounting processes.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex accounting concepts for both financial and non-financial audiences.

• A high level of ownership, attention to detail, initiative, and adaptability, with a solution-oriented mindset and a passion for building scalable processes in a fast-paced environment.
