Senior Accountant

About A2Z SyncA2Z Sync is building the operating system for U.S. automotive retail — a market measured in trillions, still operating on disconnected, decades-old systems. We replace that friction with the velocity of a single platform, integrating digital insights with in-store operations to deliver transparent transactions for car buyers and increased profitability for dealers.We are a Series B, AI-native SaaS company experiencing tremendous growth.
