Desired experience

We operate as a non-traditional finance team that transcends the conventional boundaries of (AP), (AR), Treasury, etc... Our approach is cross-functional, requiring active collaboration across various financial domains. Everybody is an expert in a specific area and has clear responsibilities but in challenging times, we anticipate your readiness to contribute across specializations. Simultaneously, you can trust in the collective support of team members whenever assistance is needed.

The ideal teammate for us would be someone widely experienced in accounting and reporting, recording journal entries, accounts payables and receivables, and preparing accruals and reconciliations.

It would also be great if you are comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Advanced use of Excel and experience in accounting ERPs is required. Microsoft Dynamics Nav is a plus.

English is a must. We are a multicultural team, and we are providing a service in English so, we don't care about certificates, but we expect you to be able to communicate fluently.

You should feel equally comfortable communicating in long-form writing. We have become a fully remote company so, we believe that being articulate in both spoken and written long-form asynchronous communication is key to working efficiently together.

Experience working closely with non-technical stakeholders to refine requirements and bring them to life is a must.
