  • You’ll lead special projects including system migrations, M&A preparation, budget development, chart of accounts redesigns, and other strategic financial initiatives.
  • You’ll prepare and review timely, accurate monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial statements and management reports, providing strategic financial guidance to clients around growth, investor reporting, and compliance.
  • You’ll lead and mentor a team of accounting professionals — delegating daily tasks, reviewing and approving work products for accuracy and quality, and coordinating workload across multiple client engagements.

  • Experience managing, mentoring, and developing a team of accounting professionals, with the ability to delegate, review work, and hold team members accountable to deadlines and quality standards.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights for founders, CFOs, and investors.
