Remote Startup Accountant Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About the Role  

As a Senior Accountant at Armada, you will be a key member of our growing Finance team, responsible for maintaining the integrity of our financial records as we scale rapidly. You will manage assigned areas of the general ledger function, support month-end and year-end close processes, and partner cross-functionally with teams across the business to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.
