  • Skills: Strong understanding of GAAP, advanced Excel skills, and a high level of professionalism when handling confidential data.
  • Leadership: A confident communicator who is comfortable supervising staff and speaking with vendors even in stressful situations.

 

The Details:

  • Compensation:$52,000 – $85,000 annually (commensurate with experience).
