• Review outstanding receivables and work with operational partners to improve collection efforts and reduce aging balances.
• Evaluate accounting workflows to uncover inefficiencies and help implement practical improvements in invoicing, cash collection, and payment processing.
• Identify issues related to accrual accounting and revenue or expense recognition, then assist in applying corrective actions to improve accuracy.
• Create and refine accounting procedures, support internal control enhancements, and help prepare the organization for audit-related requirements.
• Assist with bringing newly acquired entities into established accounting practices, including alignment of charts of accounts, policies, and reporting standards.

Qualifications:
