The Role:
As the Staff Accountant, you will assist in the daily operations of the finance department. You will work directly with the Controller & Senior Accountant in carrying out the responsibilities of the finance department including financial reporting and regulatory compliance. You’ll own our AP and accruals, process invoices, manage T&E expenses, and ensure everything is coded appropriately. You’ll also assist with financial and tax audits, and perform month-end close activities (including reconciliations and rollforwards).
Why You’ll Love This Role:
Within our high-growth company, you will be joining a very tight-knit finance team that is committed to building out a best-in-class operational and analytical function. Your work will help ensure the growth of a business that is transforming the way students learn through customized, engaging reading content.
Why We’ll Love You:
With 2+ years of accounting experience, you’ve spent time in public accounting and are a certified CPA (or are working towards it). You’re a Microsoft Excel whiz, and ideally have experience with NetSuite and bill.com. A self-starter, you’re comfortable both working independently and as part of a cross-functional team. You’re great at prioritizing and executing multiple tasks that adhere to strict deadlines, and may even have worked at a fast-paced, changing environment. A life-long learner, you have acute attention to detail and bring your inherent curiosity to every meeting and task.
