Candidates should expect the interview process to probe each one with specific evidence from past work. 1.Financial Accuracy & Multi-Entity Close Ownership Personal accountability for the correctness of every financial statement before it reaches the CEO, across two entities running on two ERPs. What success looks like Direct, hands-on ownership of the close in the early months. Doing the work personally while rebuilding the process underneath it, then elevating to review as the team strengthens. Month-end and year-end close for both PMC and Electronic Supply completed on a published calendar, with budgets rolled forward, trailing schedules current, and coding verified. 2.Accounting Consolidation & Process Architecture The instinct to build durable, repeatable systems: close checklists, reconciliation controls, documentation. What success looks like Two separate accounting departments unified into one team serving both entities within the first year, with clear role definitions and a single close methodology. A documented close process that makes recurring error categories structurally impossible, not just individually corrected. Internal controls established and maintained across both entities. Segregation of duties, asset safeguarding, fraud prevention, and strengthened deliberately as the two departments unify. 3.Forecasting, Scoreboards & Bank-Ready Reporting Translating accurate books into forward-looking clarity for the leadership team - and financial statements that meet the professional standard our banking partners expect. What success looks like Company scoreboards delivered on time each month and trusted as the single source of truth in leadership meetings. A rolling 12-month reforecast maintained and refreshed at least quarterly, with variances explained in plain language. GAAP-level presentation quality. #J-18808-Ljbffr
