IMPORTANT - IF INTERESTED AND QUALIFIED PLEASE ANSWER THE BELOW QUESTIONS WHEN APPLYING WITH YOUR RESUME
What are your salary requirements in order to make a move? A ballpark range is fine and will be kept totally confidential. The role is in Phoenix and does allow for remote work, but also would require going into Tucson on a part-time basis initially. Are you open to commuting into Tucson 1-2x a week initially?

Are you comfortable with that balance? Do you have experience helping scale an accounting function within growing, multi-entity environments, specifically around strengthening internal controls and streamlining the monthly close process? Please send your resume & answers to the above questions to: sharper(at)hire-source(dot)com Your resume will be held with strict confidence and will NEVER be forwarded to any of our clients without your permission.
