About The Team
We are looking for an experienced Policy & Technical Accountant to help us analyze and account for our most complex projects and baseline our policies in accordance with US GAAP. This candidate will have meaningful experience evaluating accounting issues with a particular focus in areas such as revenue, consolidations, financial instruments, foreign currency, leases, investments, stock-based compensation, debt/equity, and business combinations.
