Contribute to special projects and additional accounting initiatives as assigned, including process-related reporting support when needed.

Maintain accuracy and organization while handling large datasets and meeting deadlines during month-end close and other peak periods.

Requirements - At least 3 years of accounting experience, with a background that includes balance sheet analysis and reconciliations.
