About the Team

It is more than numbers. 

With our rapid growth we’re seeing the role of our accounting department growing in importance. For someone looking to grow as an accountant, this is a way to accelerate their career growth by working in a fast-paced, high growth environment. Pulling it off guarantees you'll become a legend.

About the Role

As our business continues to scale rapidly, we need someone who is hands-on, highly analytical, and relentlessly detail-oriented. This is not a “check the box” accounting position—this is for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and can lead both day-to-day operations and strategic improvement initiatives.

The ideal candidate is a proactive leader who combines technical expertise with strong team development skills. You’ll oversee core accounting functions, drive process improvements, and help build a scalable infrastructure for the future. There will be ample opportunities for growth as our team expands—and we’re focused on finding the right person for the company, not just this job.
