This highly visible individual-contributor role combines global financial consolidation, monthly close, billing and purchase-order controls, contract analysis, planning, and executive reporting.

• Support planning and performance: Prepare budgets, forecasts, models, KPIs, and ad hoc analyses covering revenue, labor, operating costs, overhead, margin, billing, and receivables.
• Drive cross-functional execution: Manage project plans, deadlines, and action items; influence without authority, partner effectively with senior leaders, and elevate decisions when needed.
• Partner with the client: Prepare financial recaps and business-review materials, respond to billing, audit, contract, and reporting questions, and ensure activity aligns with executed agreements.
• Navigate Compass systems: Utilize finance, reporting, procurement, and billing systems while coordinating access, troubleshooting, and process documentation.

• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills; experience with enterprise finance, reporting, planning, procurement, billing, and data-visualization tools. Compass systems knowledge is strongly preferred.
