Finance and Accounting Associate

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role: there is a paragraph describing company and role summary. Should be under "About the role". Use

. - Responsibilities: list of core responsibilities. Use

• . - Requirements/Qualifications: there is "Key Requirements & Qualifications" with Basic Qualifications (Required) and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. We have both required and preferred. Could put required under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Or combine. We'll follow: Requirements heading for basic qualifications, Qualifications heading for preferred qualifications. - Skills: there is Technical & Excel Competencies etc. Could be under Skills heading. Or we could treat Technical & Excel Competencies as Skills. We'll create Skills heading. - Benefits: there is Benefits Offered (Full-Time Employees) and also Temporary/Contractors. We'll include Benefits heading with list. - Pay: there is "Annual Salary staring at $60,000". That's specific. So include Pay heading with that sentence. - Schedule: there is "Work Location: 100% On-site requirement..." and "Schedule Flexibility: Schedule flexibility to occasionally participate in evening video conferences..." So schedule heading can include both location and flexibility? The instruction: Use heading Schedule for schedule info. We'll include schedule details. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove Privacy Notice, EEO statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "Benefits Offered" appears twice; we need to preserve substantive info but not duplicate. We'll combine. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

  Role Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented bilingual entry-level FP&A Staff to join our Finance & Accounting Team. Based 100% on-site at our Clarksville, TN facility, this role will support financial planning, reporting, cost analysis, and business performance management while serving as a key communication bridge between local U.S. operations and our global headquarters in Korea. Under the guidance of senior leadership, the FP&A Staff will apply foundational knowledge of financial, managerial, and cost accounting to analyze financial and operational data, support budgeting and forecasting processes, monitor OPEX and COGS performance, and provide actionable financial insights to business leaders. The ability to communicate financial information clearly and accurately in both English and Korean is essential, as this position regularly interacts with U.S. operations and the company's global headquarters in Korea.

  But we might split into two paragraphs; it's okay.

  Responsibilities

  • Data Analytics & Reporting: Support the collection, validation, cleaning, and consolidation of financial, manufacturing, and operational data from ERP and other business systems. Develop and improve recurring reports and analytical tools to support accurate and timely decision-making.
  • OPEX Management & Budgetary Control: Assist with monthly tracking and analysis of Operating Expenses (OPEX) across departments. Monitor actual spending against budgets and forecasts, investigate significant variances, and provide spending visibility to management.
  • Cost Accounting & Variance Analysis: Support the analysis of product costs, raw material valuations, inventory movements, and manufacturing expenses. Investigate cost variances and assist with root-cause analysis of operational inefficiencies and margin changes.
  • Monthly Financial Performance Reporting: Prepare recurring financial reporting packages and supporting analyses. Track key operational and financial KPIs and perform Actual vs. Budget and Forecast variance analysis for OPEX and COGS (Cost of Goods Sold).
  • Cross-Border Business Partnering: Serve as a bilingual communication bridge between local U.S. operations and the global headquarters in Korea. Support financial reporting, information sharing, and coordination between U.S. operational managers and headquarters.
  • Ad-Hoc Strategic Projects: Support financial analysis and modeling for capital expenditure (CapEx), cost optimization initiatives, operational improvement projects, and other cross-functional business evaluations.

  Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, Statistics, Mathematics, Data Analytics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Experience: 0–2 years of experience in corporate finance, managerial accounting, or a relevant corporate internship environment.
  • Language Proficiency: Professional-level fluency in written and verbal English and Korean. Must possess the ability to articulate financial insights, draft internal memos, and facilitate business communications seamlessly in both languages.
  • Technical & Excel Competencies: Intermediate to advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (e.g., advanced formulas, VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, SUMIFS, and building clean, logical, and auditable spreadsheets). Foundational knowledge of General Accounting and Cost Accounting, OPEX tracking mechanisms, and Managerial Accounting workflows.

  Qualifications

  • Preferred Qualifications: Certifications: CPA, CMA, or progress toward a relevant professional certification is a plus.
  • Preferred Qualifications: ERP & Financial Systems: Practical exposure to ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle, and financial planning/reporting tools such as Essbase, is a plus.
  But we might want to combine under Qualifications heading with list items.

  Skills

  Maybe we already covered technical skills under Requirements. Could still have Skills heading for any additional skills like communication, bilingual. But we already have language proficiency under Requirements. Could still add Skills heading for "Bilingual communication (English/Korean)" and "Analytical thinking". However we should not invent content. The posting mentions ability to communicate financial information clearly and accurately in both English and Korean; that's language proficiency. Could be under Skills. But we already have language proficiency under Requirements. Might be okay to not have Skills section if content already covered. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills if its content is covered elsewhere. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does mention technical Excel competencies etc. That's skills. Could put under Skills heading instead of Requirements. But we already used Requirements for education/experience/language. Could shift technical skills to Skills. Let's decide: We'll have Requirements (education, experience, language). Skills (technical Excel competencies, foundational knowledge). Qualifications (preferred certifications, ERP exposure). That seems logical. Thus:
