Are you the star accountant on your team, the one everyone goes to when they hit a roadblock? When your exceptionally sharp eye spots an error in an invoice, payment or reconciliation, do you relentlessly investigate until you find the root cause? Are you looking for a company that has successfully automated the accounting drudgery that most Finance organizations do manually so that you can focus on what really matters? If so, we want you to join our 100% remote corporate Finance group.
We're a notoriously high-margin, PE-funded software conglomerate building a revolutionary, world-class Finance operation that enables us to buy 1-2 companies per week.
