Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept it 😁

Numbers are an exactitude not an approximation. You know this and live by it. You’re a bean counter but you understand that numbers inform strategy. Therefore, you love to explain the application of numbers to real-world scenarios. That’s your specialty. You can explain accounting to a 5-year old!

In this role, you will support the finance team with monthly reconciliations and seamless payments. You also have a knack for speed. You’re rarely trapped in analysis paralysis and your secret weapon is timely delivery without errors.
