• Present financial findings, risks, and recommendations to management and serve as a strategic business partner in financial planning and decision-making
• Identify and implement process improvements that increase efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and consistency across accounting operations
• Lead, coach, and develop accounting staff through prioritization, performance management, cross-training, and professional development
• Provide day-to-day oversight of payroll and accounts payable/receivable functions and ensure appropriate coverage, quality, and timely completion of work

Basic Qualifications

• Experience identifying and implementing accounting process improvements and workflow efficiencies
• Experience managing accounting systems, controls, and financial reporting processes in a growing organization
• Experience with government inquiries, regulatory reporting, or compliance requirements
