- Bank and account reconciliations
- Assisting with cash management and daily cash visibility
- Supporting month-end and year-end processes
- Maintaining accurate financial records and improving accounting workflows
- Partnering closely with leadership on ad hoc reporting and operational needs
- Assisting with additional administrative and business-related functions as needed
Why this role stands out:
- Direct mentorship from the CFO
- High visibility and meaningful exposure to the full business
- Opportunity to be involved in both accounting and operational finance
- Broad responsibilities with strong growth potential
- Chance to make a real impact in a small, collaborative environment
