Job Description

The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong judgment, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment focused on long-term impact and timely execution.

As we prepare for our first financial audit and continue to scale, this role offers meaningful ownership and growth potential. You’ll play a key role in audit readiness, process improvement, and helping the team tighten close and reporting timelines.

When something is yours, you see it all the way through, from policy development to reconciliation to audit support. You don't wait to be asked. You're audit-ready by nature.
