· CPA or CPA candidate preferred
· Strong Excel skills; NetSuite or similar ERP experience a plus
· Comfortable with high transaction volume and multiple entities
· Self-starter who can manage recurring deadlines with minimal oversight
· Willingness to travel 1–2 weeks per year to support our Tennessee operations and learn the business
