• Conduct financial reviews and variance analysis to uncover underlying issues, explain results, and recommend actions that improve business and accounting outcomes.

• Provide responsive support to senior finance leadership through ad hoc reporting, analysis, and answers to financial and operational questions.

• Identify workflow bottlenecks and lead process improvement initiatives that enhance resource use and strengthen the overall effectiveness of the accounting function.

• Support a disciplined, high-accountability team culture by contributing to goal setting, monitoring performance, and reinforcing compliance with accounting standards and internal expectations.

• Proven experience overseeing full-cycle accounting and financial reporting in a multi-entity environment.

• Strong knowledge of accounting operations, including consolidations, reconciliations, journal entries, and period-end close activities.

• Demonstrated ability to perform detailed variance analysis and provide clear explanations of financial results.

• Hands-on leadership experience supporting, guiding, and developing accounting or broader finance team members.
