  • Analyze financial performance against budgets and forecasts, providing insights and recommendations to senior management for operational improvements.
  • Oversee cash flow management and forecasting to ensure optimal liquidity and working capital utilization.

Recommended Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CMA certification highly preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting or finance roles, with significant experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Deep expertise in cost accounting, inventory valuation, and variance analysis specific to manufacturing operations.

  • Strong proficiency with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) and advanced Excel skills.
