• Ensure board and executive materials are accurate, internally consistent, visually clear, and supported by reliable data and analysis.
• Present financial information to senior executives, business leaders, and the Board of Directors as appropriate.
• Establish and maintain reporting standards, calendars, quality-control procedures, and review processes for recurring executive and board reporting.
• Serve as a trusted finance partner to executive leadership and cross-functional teams by providing timely, data-driven, and practical financial guidance.
• Partner across the organization to align reporting, forecasting, and performance analytics across the organization.
• Identify opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency, liquidity, capital usage, and operating performance.
• Lead ad hoc financial analyses and special projects related to strategic initiatives, transformation efforts, product performance, cost savings, revenue optimization, and financial risk management.
• Promote a culture of accountability, analytical rigor, continuous improvement, and high-quality communication across the finance function.
• Build, lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team that supports business leaders with accurate analysis, clear reporting, and strong decision support.
