- Lead month-end and period-end close activities, ensuring financial results are accurate, timely, and well supported.
- Oversee balance sheet reconciliations and resolve discrepancies to maintain the integrity of financial records.
- Manage finance-related tax activities, including payroll tax oversight and compliance with reporting obligations.
- Provide guidance on retirement plan administration matters, including support related to 401(k) processes and financial coordination.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to internal teams by sharing best practices across accounting operations and financial controls.
- Deliver training and practical instruction to staff on the organization's manufacturing accounting system or a comparable ERP platform used in production environments.
- Review existing accounting workflows and recommend improvements that increase consistency, visibility, and operational effectiveness.
