Accounting Manager
About The Position
Almost every single thing that you eat, wear, or use (yes, even that Pikachu-shaped baseball cap you secretly love to wear) is imported. But before it makes it past the border, there’s a final, looming hurdle. Customs. A complex maze of regulatory hurdles, enough documentation to bankrupt Dunder Mifflin, harmonized standard codes, and legal battles about Santa suit classifications stand between businesses…and their sales.
Clearit makes customs brokerage seamless for importers in the US and Canada, offering a modern, digital and frictionless customs brokerage platform. And it’s not in it alone; Clearit is part of Freightos, a global leader digitalizing the massive international freight market across airlines, ocean liners, forwarders and importers. It’s working, with hundreds of billions of dollars in bookings every quarter, driven by supply chain professionals who adore the efficiencies that technology provides. With rapid growth, an increasingly dominant footprint as a provider-agnostic solution, and some phenomenal freight puns, the group is expanding rapidly and trades on the Nasdaq under CRGO.
