WHAT YOU WILL BRING * Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. * Minimum of 5-7 years of progressive experience in strategic finance function (Corporate Finance or FP&A). * Understanding of accounting principles, including income statement analysis, balance sheet analysis and cash flow statement analysis * Advanced skills in PowerPoint and Excel, including model building. * Experience using large data sets to create automated reporting dashboards and visualizations that are easy to use and digest. * NetSuite and Looker experience is a plus. * Excellent analytical, organizational and problem-solving skills. * Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy while managing multiple priorities. * Strong written and verbal communication skills. * Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism.
