Own key components of monthly close: journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, variance explanations, and close calendar discipline

Maintain audit-grade balance sheet reconciliations (cash, AR, AP, accruals, prepaid, fixed assets, debt, intercompany, taxes)

Build repeatable templates/workpapers and enforce “no unreconciled accounts” standards

Work closely with Ops to translate production and shipping activity into correct accounting

Team leadership and throughput

Lead, coach, and hold accountable a small team (AR, AP, Senior Accountant)
