• Contribute to annual budget development and ongoing forecast updates by compiling data, building schedules, and assisting with planning analysis.
• Support the monthly close process through journal entry preparation, balance sheet reconciliations, variance review, and maintenance of audit-ready documentation.
• Assist with profitability and performance analysis across products, customers, channels, margins, rebates, allowances, and working capital measures.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
