You will contribute to the preparation and analysis of financial reporting and financial results, both for our purposes, including the preparation of 10-Qs, 10-Ks, and other SEC reporting. You will be someone in the identification, implementation, and monitoring of controls over financial reporting, which will require the ability to work with other leaders throughout the organization. This role is ideal for someone with technical accounting and financial reporting background, and for someone who is willing to “get into the weeds” and bring tasks and projects to completion. You will report to the Director of Accounting.
