Senior Accountant

EXCLUSIVE? No, 27.5%, using one other firm

RELOCATION AVAILABLE? No

100% VIRTUAL?  The Corporate policy right now, formally, is 1 day at home, you pick which day.  That said, the finance team is much more flexible.  If someone really needs to be at home, they’re able to make that happen as long as their work is getting done.  Leadership is in the midst of discussing whether they should enhance the formal policy to be 2-3 days but nothing is set yet.
