Compliance & Audit Support

Must-Haves
- Strong technical accounting background, including journal entries and month-end close
- ASC 842 experience, or the technical foundation and drive to learn it independently through research, auditor collaboration, and on-the-job application — candidates newer to the workforce who studied it in school are competitive here
- Working knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition
- Accounting degree required
- Self-directed and comfortable researching and resolving complex accounting questions independently
- Education & Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and 3+ years of experience
Nice-to-Haves
