  • Partner with operational teams to understand drivers of performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Contribute to process improvement and automation across financial reporting and analytics.
  • Ensure compliance with internal financial policies, accounting standards, SOX controls and audit requirements.

About you

  • Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
  • Willingness to pursue CA/CPA certification.
