• Strong understanding of financial planning, forecasting, accounting principles, cash management, and financial reporting.
• Experience developing and executing financial strategies in a growing or complex organization.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze financial and operational information and turn it into actionable business recommendations.
• Experience managing and developing high-performing finance teams.
• Strong understanding of financial controls, compliance, risk management, and corporate governance.
