About The Position

Amazon is a pioneering, dynamic, and energetic company that thrives on unique
and peculiar ways. We take pride in our single-minded obsession over customer
satisfaction and our ability to maintain a curious and vibrant culture no matter
how large the company grows. We endeavor to build our legacy as Earth’s most
customer-centric company and to continue to cultivate and nourish our innovative
environment through our mission to hire the best. If you are a financial
accounting professional who consistently exceeds expectations, who dares to make

Amazon is a place where your career can flourish.

When working at Amazon, your ability to make a difference and take ownership of
your career begins on day one. You can expect a collaborative, team-driven

action. Part of this propensity for continuous learning shows itself in Amazon’s
strong encouragement of movement and growth within the Accounting department and
within the company as a whole. We aim to hire and develop those who will raise
the bar over the course of their career at Amazon (and not just in their first
position).
