  • Improve and automate accounting systems to build a scalable close process.
    • \n
  • Advise ownership and executive leadership on capital planning, financing activities, and growth initiatives.
    • \n
  • Build, mentor, and develop the accounting team.
    • \n

    • \n
  • Treasury, liquidity management, and lender reporting experience.
    • \n
  • Track record leading financial reporting, audits, and internal controls in a growing business.
    • \n
\n

\n

Preferred

\n
    \n
  • Expertise in ASC 842, ASC 326, and ASC 810.
    • \n
  • Experience with warehouse credit facilities or securitizations.
    • \n
  • Exposure to the lessor side of lending; investment banking experience a plus.
