The role offers meaningful exposure to public-company-level accounting work within a flexible, remote-first model. The successful candidate will operate with a high degree of autonomy while collaborating closely with senior consultants and client stakeholders to deliver accurate, high-quality outcomes.

• Proficiency in Excel and cloud-based accounting systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, or similar).
• Proven ability to manage multiple deliverables across competing deadlines.

Core Responsibilities
