The primary focus of this role is business analysis rather than transaction processing.

While the majority of the position is analytical, the successful candidate will be someone who is comfortable moving between analysis and core accounting execution as circumstances require. During close, audit, system conversion, coverage gaps, or periods of elevated workload, this role will be expected to support general ledger activity directly, including account reconciliations, journal entries, and close support.
