  • You'll contribute in the financial audit process in preparation and providing of various audit requests and inquiries
  • You'll complete monthly variance analysis through understanding the financial data within the greater context of the business
  • You'll work closely with various stakeholders within Finance and across the company to identify problems, process gaps and propose reasonable and creative solutions to improve processes including opportunities for automating manual processes or activities within a process
  • You'll work closely with the Accounting Manager in general corporate accounting matters and ad hoc projects or requests

Skills You'll Need to Bring:
