  • Collaborate with accounting, operations, and leadership teams to improve financial performance, support strategic initiatives, and communicate business trends and recommendations.
  • Assist with external audits and other regulatory or financial reporting requirements.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, accounting standards, and internal controls while promoting continuous process improvement.
