• Analyze sales, volume, labor hours, headcount, earned hours, overtime, scrap, and other operational drivers affecting plant performance.
• Ensure compliance with company accounting policies, internal controls, and applicable accounting standards.
• Support internal and external audits as required.
• Identify financial risks and opportunities and communicate significant issues to management in a timely manner.
