  • Partner with the accounts payable function and treasury-related stakeholders to review cash needs, payment activity, wire schedules, and disbursement support documentation.
  • Supervise and mentor three accounting team members by assigning work, reviewing output, reinforcing procedures, and promoting accountability and career growth.
  • Coordinate audit support by compiling schedules, reconciliations, and requested documentation while helping maintain strong internal controls and organized financial records.
  • Research tax and accounting matters, recommend practical resolutions to the Controller, and contribute to improvements in reporting, controls, automation, and workflow efficiency.
  • 3+ years of accounting experience, including responsibility for month-end close and financial reporting activities.
  • Strong working knowledge of general ledger accounting, journal entries, account reconciliations, and bank reconciliations.
  • Experience reviewing accruals, investigating variances, and preparing supporting schedules for financial statement reporting.
  • Ability to oversee multiple accounting processes while maintaining accuracy, organization, and adherence to deadlines.
  • Prior experience leading or reviewing the work of accounting staff in a collaborative team environment.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with accounts payable, operational teams, auditors, and finance leadership.
  • Proficiency in identifying process gaps, strengthening controls, and using systems or automation tools to improve efficiency.
