• Own the consolidated cash position and near‑term cash visibility; monitor working capital and liquidity

• Demonstrated ownership of external audits and coordination of tax with outside advisors
• Public accounting background (Big Four or national firm; audit and/or transaction services) a strong plus
• Proficiency with mid‑market ERPs (e.g., Spectrum, Sage, QuickBooks) and consolidation tools (e.g., Prophix)

Preferred Characteristics

• Hands‑on operator with ability to execute while building for scale
• Detail‑oriented, with a bias toward fixing issues at the source
• Thrives in ambiguity and a fast‑moving, acquisitive environment
• Low ego, high ownership, eager to grow with the platform
