• Analyze expenses, investigate unusual transactions, and identify trends

• Remote-first environment with flexibility for family and personal responsibilities
• Stable, growing company with multiple operating entities

• Understanding of multi-entity accounting and the ability to accurately separate activity by company, branch, or division
