Create and maintain organized support files for freight, tariff, inventory, and costing calculations to strengthen financial documentation.
Work closely with business intelligence, accounting, supply chain, and operations teams to enhance reporting and deliver actionable analysis.
Assist with weekly treasury tasks by reviewing payment activity, validating banking details, and supporting control procedures before funds are released.
Provide dependable support during core business hours and offer added availability during critical close periods. Requirements - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field.
At least 5 years of relevant experience in financial analysis, operational finance, or FP& A, ideally within a manufacturing, distribution, or inventory-driven business.
