Remote Finance Jobs in Lakewood Ranch, FL (NOW HIRING)

About the team and what we’ll build together
This role sits at the intersection of Accounting and Finance. In Accounting, we thrive behind the scenes — detail-oriented and meticulous, providing financial insight that helps our organization make informed decisions. In Finance, we partner closely with business leaders, translating financial and operational data into insight that drives planning, performance reviews, and continuous improvement.
The Finance & Accounting Analyst maintains ownership of core accounting processes while also supporting the operational metrics, forecasts, revenue validation, and monthly reporting that leadership relies on to understand business performance. This role is intentionally built as a development opportunity — a chance to grow across both disciplines — and as a connective thread that strengthens how Accounting, Finance, and operational reporting work together in service of better business decisions.
