• Evaluate investment opportunities by analyzing project ROI and capital allocation.
• Own revenue recognition and work-in-progress on long-term contracts, including milestone billing and grant-funded work.
• Maintain and defend the company's cost structure: hourly rates, overhead, standard vs actual product cost and BOM variance as they move into serial production.
• Run the monthly close and produce the management reporting package (P&L by commessa, cash flow, burn, budget vs actuals) for leadership and shareholders.
• Manage treasury, cash forecasting, sources and uses of funds (fonti e impieghi), and banking relationships (including debt management).
