About the Role:

- Payroll Accounting: Support payroll accounting and reconciliations across US and international payrolls.
2. AP Governance & External Audit
- AP Oversight: Supervise the outsourced AP specialist team across vendor onboarding, W-9/W-8 compliance, GL coding reviews, approval workflows, payment controls, and AP aging.
- Audit Support: Serve as a key touchpoint for external audits by preparing PBC items, detailed workpapers, reconciliations, and process walkthroughs.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 3 years of progressive accounting experience (Public Accounting / High-Growth FinTech or Tech experience strongly preferred).
- Technical Mastery: Strong grounding in US GAAP with working familiarity with international/local statutory frameworks.
- System & Excel Skills: Hands-on experience with modern cloud ERP systems (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar) and advanced Excel modeling capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications:
- CPA certification (or active track) preferred.
- Experience coordinating multi-entity close, intercompany transactions, or international subsidiary accounting.
