- Assist with accounts receivable activities, including billing support, cash application, and AR reconciliations as needed.
Audit, Tax & Compliance
- Compile schedules and documentation for external audits.
- Assist with tax-related schedules and filings (e.g., use tax, property tax, income tax support) as needed.
- Ensure work aligns with company policies, internal controls, and applicable accounting standards (GAAP).
Continuous Improvement
- Participate in process improvement and documentation efforts, including identifying opportunities to streamline or automate workflows.
- Contribute ideas that improve clarity, efficiency, and collaboration across Finance and Operations.
What We’re Looking For
Experience & Education

Skills & Strengths
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, lookups, basic formulas).

- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively, ask thoughtful questions, and manage details with care.
How You Show Up
