• Manage and oversee all accounting operations including Billing, A/R, A/P, GL, Counsel, Cost Accounting, and Revenue Recognition;

• You love to laugh and be part of an awesome team.

So, what’s in it for you?

We believe that to attract the best, we also need to offer the best.

That’s why we’ve designed a well-balanced compensation package.

As our Financial Controller, you will receive:

• A competitive base salary based on location and experience, with annual reviews and opportunities for growth;
