  • Strong command of US GAAP, with the ability to apply guidance to complex transactions

Preferred

  • Experience with ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 842, or business combinations
  • Experience with close automation or process re-engineering
  • Experience mentoring or training peers

What Makes You a Great Fit
