- Create and maintain organized support files for freight, tariff, inventory, and costing calculations to strengthen financial documentation.
- Work closely with business intelligence, accounting, supply chain, and operations teams to enhance reporting and deliver actionable analysis.
- Assist with weekly treasury tasks by reviewing payment activity, validating banking details, and supporting control procedures before funds are released.
- Provide dependable support during core business hours and offer added availability during critical close periods. Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field.
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in financial analysis, operational finance, or FP& A, ideally within a manufacturing, distribution, or inventory-driven business.
