The Senior Financial Reporting Accountant will play a key role in the preparation and analysis of financial reporting and financial results, both for internal and external purposes, including the preparation of 10-Qs, 10-Ks, and other SEC reporting, which will require the ability to work cross-functionally with other leaders throughout the organization.  This position will also be a key contributor in the research, interpretation, and implementation of technical accounting and financial reporting guidance.  This role is ideal for a self-starter, who has a strong technical accounting and financial reporting background, and for someone who is willing to “get into the weeds” and drive tasks and projects to completion.  This role will report to the Senior Manager of External Reporting and Technical Accounting.
