There are new challenges we're facing, and there's plenty of fun we're having. Come be a part of it and help make a positive impact! Fundamentals of Accounting - we'd like you to have 8+ years of experience under your belt backed by a bachelor's degree in accounting and/or finance. While not required, it's preferred you are on track for completion (or already completed) in obtaining a CPA license or a post-graduate degree. Attention to detail + love for data - We pride ourselves on producing high-quality work, scrutinizing important numbers and formulas for accuracy, and using spreadsheets and system data to reconcile accounts and solve problems and questions; we like our accountants to love Excel pivot tables and be unphased by large data sets. Enthusiasm and quick learning - Enthusiasm for designing and building new accounting systems and making improvements to existing systems. Prior work with contract review (revenue, leases, or other complex documents), data entry and analysis, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful, but we understand you probably have never done content accounting. That's OK with us because we'll teach you as long as you're excited about learning. Curiosity and passion - Our team members ask probing questions, challenge the status quo, make changes to improve processes, and have fun while doing it all; a positive attitude and never settling for “good enough” is key, along with adding to our unique company culture. You have strong communication skills (both written and oral) and are viewed as a strong cross-functional business partner. You should also have a strong accounting background and be comfortable navigating technical accounting guidance. Collaborate inclusively - Partner with team members and authentically recognize, understand, and appreciate differences, and connect across these differences by being mutually adaptive. Adaptable - You have to be comfortable in an ever-changing ecosystem of content, finance, and accounting issues and projects.
