The Ideal Profile Experience: 5+ years of progressive accounting experience. A background in Big 4 or national public accounting is highly preferred. Technical Skills: Strong foundation in U.S. GAAP and proficiency in ERP systems (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Dynamics, or similar). Excel Mastery: You should be a power user capable of utilizing pivot tables, lookups, and basic modeling to resolve complex accounting issues.
