About the position:

We're seeking a detail-oriented Senior Finance Operations Analyst to serve as the operational backbone of our finance team. This role reports directly to the Controller and will collaborate closely with the CFO, external auditors, tax advisors, PE investors and cross-functional business partners.

You'll be the go-to person keeping our financial operations running smoothly during an exciting growth phase that includes a recent acquisition, our first audit and evolving investor reporting requirements.

This isn't a traditional bookkeeping role. We need someone who can see both the trees and the forest-executing daily tasks with precision while identifying issues before they become problems and proposing solutions proactively.
