Rep Data is looking for a Senior Accountant to take ownership of our multi-state sales tax function, support monthly close, and serve as the primary backup to our Treasury lead. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants real ownership of a specific function while staying broadly engaged across close and treasury functions. You'll report directly to the CFO as the role gets established, with reporting expected to shift to the Controller once the function is up and running. You'll gain exposure to a PE-backed, multi-entity company operating across the US, UK, Austria, and South Africa.
