• Supervise and support accounting staff, providing direction on priorities, quality standards, and timely completion of assigned tasks.
• Partner with finance colleagues and internal teams to respond to accounting-related questions, reporting needs, and ad hoc analysis requests.
• Assist with financial statement audit preparation by organizing documentation, validating account support, and addressing auditor inquiries.
• Monitor accounting workflows and identify opportunities to improve efficiency through effective use of financial systems and related business applications.

Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, including responsibility for month-end close and general ledger management.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a combination of relevant education and practical accounting experience.
• Demonstrated background in account reconciliation, journal entry review, and maintaining accurate financial records.
• Experience supporting financial statement audits and preparing clear, organized supporting documentation.
• Strong Excel capabilities, including the ability to work efficiently with large and detailed data sets.
