• Month-End Close & Audit Compliance: Lead monthly and quarterly close processes, including accruals, reclassifications, variance analysis, and reconciliation of financial systems. Enforce compliance with accounting policies, maintain robust documentation, enforce materiality thresholds (e.g., $250k), and perform relevant monthly SOX controls.
• Process Automation & Continuous Improvement: Champion the modernization of financial processes by identifying and eliminating non-value-added activities. Implement automated workflows, standardized templates, and reporting dashboards using tools like Alteryx, Tableau, and UIPath to shift focus from manual data processing to strategic analysis.

Experience You'll Bring

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field; MBA or professional certification preferred.
• Experience: 5–10+ years of progressive Finance or Accounting experience, with demonstrated success supporting cross-functional technology, IT, or commercial organizations.
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced Excel skills (complex modeling, advanced formulas, pivot tables) and experience with enterprise ERP and FP&A platforms (Anaplan, PeopleSoft, Hyperion, SAP, Oracle).

• Analytical Rigor & Compliance: Strong financial acumen with proven ability to synthesize complex data sets into actionable executive insights. Expertise in applying capitalization policies, maintaining SOX controls, and ensuring audit readiness.
• Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical/financial concepts for cross-functional stakeholders and ELT members.
• Process Leadership: Proven "fix and build" mindset with a track record of streamlining manual workflows, standardizing reporting, and driving operational efficiency.
• Adaptability & Collaboration: Ability to work independently in a hybrid environment, lead initiatives across matrixed teams, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.
