• Collaborate cross-functionally to strengthen reporting, streamline workflows, and drive operational excellence

• Prepare accurate financial reports and provide insights to management to support strategic decisions

• Participate in ad hoc projects and assist with system enhancements or implementations

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required

• 5+ years of accounting experience, including some management or supervisory experience

• Proven experience leading process improvement initiatives
