Partner with internal stakeholders to provide reliable financial information and respond to reporting questions.
Demonstrated experience in a senior-level accounting role with responsibility for general ledger maintenance.
Practical knowledge of payroll accounting and the ability to work with related financial transactions.
Strong background in month-end close, journal entry preparation, and account reconciliation.
