  • Partner with the CFO on financial strategy and business decision support
  • Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll functions
  • Evaluate and improve accounting systems, processes, and reporting tools

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required
  • CPA designation strongly preferred
  • 8 or more years of progressive accounting experience
  • Prior experience managing or leading an accounting team
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting standards
  • Experience with ERP systems and advanced Excel skills
  • Proven track record overseeing audits and internal controls
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to present to executive leadership
  • High attention to detail and strong analytical problem-solving skills
