Why this job – CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER:

- Manage cash flows, tax reporting workflows, and overall financial compliance.
- Directly oversee the Controller and strategically build out the internal accounting and finance team as operational volume increases.
To Be Successful in This Role, You Will Need:
