• Reliable budgets and forecasts for COGS and manufacturing expenses.
• Inventory valuation that’s precise and compliant with accounting standards.

• Repeatable processes, smarter tooling, and automation (including AI) that raise the bar on analysis and reporting.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.

• Advanced Excel and ERP proficiency; Syteline experience is a plus.
