Strong experience reviewing journal entries, accruals, adjusting entries, and account reconciliations in a complex environment.

Proven ability to analyze accounting discrepancies, identify root causes, and bring issues to resolution in a hands-on manner.

Prior leadership experience managing or mentoring accounting staff and helping less experienced team members develop.

Working knowledge of technical accounting guidance, including ASC 842 lease accounting.

Background in improving accounting processes and internal controls to support a more efficient close and reporting cycle.

Experience with D365 is preferred.

Exposure to implementation readiness activities or large-scale accounting system environments is a plus.
