Strengthen cash forecasting, working capital management, commercial banking relationships, and treasury processes to support business stability and growth. Support M&A activity, diligence, integration planning, and financial stewardship for ownership or parent-company reporting requirements. Manage financial reporting across domestic and international entities, including coordination with external advisors and accounting firms where multiple accounting standards, currencies, or jurisdictions apply. Develop scalable finance processes, systems, controls, and reporting routines appropriate for a growing, customized-contract environment.
