Senior Financial Analyst

At Brightstar Communities (www.brightstarcommunities.com), we’ve grown quickly with a team that is lean, highly accountable and relentlessly focused on efficiency. We are in search of two Senior Accountants and a Senior Financial Analyst to keep pace with our growth. We need real technical expertise, and experience relevant to our MHC / RV / marina industry.

But here’s the difference: We expect AI to eliminate low-impact work. We want team members who see inefficiency and immediately ask “why does it work this way?"

If you are technically sound and energized using AI to 10x the accounting and FP&A output, we’d love to talk with you. This is an opportunity to join a scaling platform in a role where you can really move the needle. Let's connect, or you can apply here: https://surveys.cultureindex.com/s/XT1i5VU9v3/22519
