• Prepare and review complex journal entries and account reconciliations to keep our general ledger accurate and audit-ready.
• Work directly with external auditors during the year-end audit process, ensuring a smooth, well-documented experience from start to finish.
• Help drive the budgeting process, supporting long-term planning and monthly forecasting to align with business goals.
• Assist in preparing compliance documentation for federal and state tax filings and other regulatory requirements.

What We’re Looking For: You’re a dynamic leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You bring a proactive mindset, a passion for process improvement, and a talent for mentoring teams.
