• Oversee all aspects of financial reporting: daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly.
• Ensure accurate and timely financial results, including budget tracking, period-end closing, and forecasting in accordance with GAAP and internal policies.
• Train unit and area managers in financial literacy, contract compliance, and cost control within a food service context.
• Manage electronic tools for financial tracking (e.g., e-Vision, forecasting platforms) and P2P systems to support procurement and budgeting workflows.
  
  
  

Contract & Compliance Oversight:

• Ensure contract adherence and commercial compliance with client agreements.
• Support pricing strategies, service fee modeling, and client negotiations specific to food and hospitality services.
• Perform financial reviews and audits to verify accuracy of transactions, improve controls, and identify improvement opportunities.
