Assist with the preparation of budgets, forecasts, and cash flow reporting
Partner with department leaders to provide financial analysis and operational support
Coordinate external audits and work closely with auditors, tax advisors, and other external partners
Evaluate and improve accounting processes, controls, and reporting efficiencies
Ensure compliance with accounting policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements
Support special projects, system implementations, and organizational initiatives as needed
Salary Range: $95,000 - $120,000
Requirements
What We're Looking For:
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
5+ years of progressive accounting experience
Prior experience leading projects, mentoring staff, or managing a team

Proficiency with accounting software and advanced Excel skills
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
Preferred Qualifications:
CPA preferred but not required
Public accounting experience is a plus
Experience working in a multi-entity, project-based, manufacturing, nonprofit, or service-oriented environment is a plus
Why Consider This Opportunity?:
Competitive compensation and benefits package
High level of visibility with senior leadership
Opportunity to influence processes and drive improvements
Stable organization with long-term growth plans
Collaborative culture that values initiative and new ideas
Clear path for continued career progression within the finance organization
