• Provide guidance and oversight to accounting staff, including training, performance management, and professional development.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including finance, legal, and operations, to support strategic initiatives and process improvements.
• Monitor changes in accounting standards, tax laws and regulations, and assess the impact on the organization, providing recommendations and implementing necessary changes.
• Lead and support external audits, examinations, and reviews by regulatory agencies, auditors, and tax authorities.
• Manage relationships with external stakeholders, including auditors, tax advisors, and regulatory authorities, to ensure smooth communication and resolution of issues.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or related field required; CPA certification preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting and tax roles, with at least 5 years in a leadership or managerial position.
• Proficiency with MS Office, with advanced knowledge of Excel and accounting software.

• Experience in captive finance industry is preferred.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving and research skills, with the ability to interpret complex financial data and make strategic recommendations.
• Strong leadership and interpersonal abilities.
• Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to effectively interact with internal and external stakeholders.
