• Lead the external audit, partnering with the external auditor to ensure timely completion of annual audit.
• Partner with corporate development to support M&A activities.

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field; CPA certification strongly preferred.
• 12+ years of experience with an increasing level of scope and leadership responsibility; Big 4 and industry experience preferred.
• Deep technical expertise in U.S. GAAP and other financial reporting requirements.
• Demonstrated track record of shortening close cycles and building durable processes — not just operating existing ones.
• Experience operating in a SOX-controlled environment is a plus.
