Partner with Finance, Operations, Sales, and other cross-functional teams to support business initiatives and resolve accounting matters. Assist external audits by preparing schedules, supporting documentation, and responding to auditor requests. Maintain and strengthen internal controls while ensuring compliance with company policies and accounting standards.

Demonstrated ownership of full-cycle accounting and financial close processes. Prior experience in public accounting or working directly with external auditors. Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and its practical application. Experience with revenue recognition, preferably within a SaaS or subscription-based business model. Experience working in multi-entity and multi-currency environments. Experience supporting global accounting operations and collaborating with international stakeholders.
