You'll establish standardized accounting policies across all locations while supporting the centralization of accounting functions into the corporate office.
Drive Transformation & Innovation Spearhead enterprise-wide initiatives focused on centralization, standardization, and automation. You'll modernize accounting systems, ERP platforms, and close automation tools while redesigning monthly close processes to enhance speed, accuracy, and visibility.
Ensure Compliance & Control Own internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) and SOX compliance, ensuring adherence to U.S. GAAP and public company standards. You'll serve as the primary accounting advisor to executive leadership and the Audit Committee, partnering with the CFO on complex accounting judgments and disclosures.

What Sets This Role Apart The CFO is looking for someone who can quickly get up to speed and own the accounting function from the ground up. While the CFO serves as the Principal Accounting Officer, this role owns the day-to-day execution. You'll have the autonomy to drive meaningful change and the support to make a lasting impact on our organization's financial operations.
