SkyWater is thrilled to be exclusively partnering with one of our favorite clients (yet again!) to add a Financial Reporting Manager to their team!
Having worked with this company extensively for the past 6+ years in recruiting (and having worked with them in public accounting too!), I can’t stress how great of an opportunity it is to join this company!
Growing like crazy. Fast-paced. Fabulous group of people who are hungry to grow and develop.
My ideal candidate –
– 5+ years of experience – Public accounting roots (and yes, I would take someone straight from public so if you are wrapping up busy season and ready to transition to industry, this one may be for you!) – Passion for financial reporting and technical accounting – you will help drive the financial reporting process, but you will also take the lead on complex accounting matters so I need someone who isn’t going to shy away from technical accounting research!
Hybrid and super flexible. Impressive compensation package.

Extremely flexible – on-site 1-2 times a week.
40 hour work weeks essentially guaranteed (as a former audit partner, work/ life balance is huge for the Controller!)
