  • Systems Proficiency : Hands-on experience with NetSuite, QuickBooks Enterprise, or similar ERP systems, plus modern AP / AR tools (Stripe, Ramp, Brex, Bill.com)
  • US GAAP Expertise : Strong knowledge of US GAAP, particularly revenue recognition (ASC 606) and multi-entity consolidations
  • Process-Driven Mindset : Track record of identifying inefficiencies and implementing scalable solutions autonomously
  • Communication Skills : Excellent written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration
  • Precision & Reliability : Known for accuracy in financial reporting and meeting tight deadlines
  • Nice-to-haves :

  • Educational Background : Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or CPA certification
