  • Think strategically and help with tactical execution using the models to aid in decision making, overall company strategy, and worldwide operations
  • Work closely with accounting to provide input on management reporting needs and to better understand our actuals

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of progressive work experience in a transitional FP&A organization (years may be substituted with investment banking, private equity or accounting experience)
