Qualities We’re Looking For

• Fundamentals of Accounting - We’d like you to have a minimum of 5 years of experience in accounting backed by a bachelor degree in accounting like a Chartered Accountancy degree/CPA or equivalent. Some work experience in accounting working in a large multinational audit firm is required.

Prior work with contract review (revenue, leases, or other complex documents), data entry and analysis, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful, but we understand you probably have never done content accounting. That's OK with us because we'll teach you as long as you're excited about learning.

• Curiosity and passion - Our team members ask probing questions, challenge the status quo, make changes to improve processes, and have fun while doing it all; positive attitude and never settling for “good enough” are key, along with fitting into our unique company culture.

• Flexible to collaborate with our U.S. and other offices across multiple time zones. Willingness to travel to our offices overseas.
