The Role:

This is a senior leadership role owning accounting, financial reporting, and compliance across a fast-growing,

withholding practices stay compliant as we expand into new states. And you'll serve as the company's compliance
leader, staying ahead of regulatory obligations across every jurisdiction we operate in. This role suits someone
