As Accounting Manager, you will own day-to-day accounting operations and reporting, including GL, AP/AR, and the general ledger close with accuracy, timeliness, and US GAAP compliance. You will manage a Senior Accountant and an outsourced accounting team, helping lead the transition of work in-house over time.

This is a role designed for long-term investment and growth.
