It operates as a global team with members in Costa Rica and India who collaborate closely across regions and time zones to support CAO priorities worldwide.

Support key operational cycles such as period-close, high-volume processing (e.g., quarter-end, year-end, compensation cycles), and coverage for planned or unplanned absences. Assist with system-related activities within assigned processes (e.g., validating changes, supporting testing efforts, and transitioning work into business-as-usual). Ramp quickly on new assignments, systems, and workflows, adjusting daily tasks and priorities to respond to changing business needs. Provide proactive status updates on workload, progress against deliverables, and emerging risks or issues.

Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting or Business (related fields may be considered with strong, demonstrable accounting operations experience).

Our Approach to Flexible Work With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
