Operational Finance Partnership: Collaborate with operations and project teams to support cost control, turnaround execution, and resource optimization

Accounting Operations Management: Oversee accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), cash management, accruals, fixed assets, and cost allocations

Internal Controls & Compliance: Establish and maintain strong internal controls; ensure compliance with audits, tax regulations (sales, use, property tax), and reporting requirements

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet Management: Provide visibility into cash flow, working capital, and balance sheet performance

Reporting & Metrics: Deliver key business metrics (utilization, project performance, BRT reporting) to drive leadership decisions

Process Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements within ERP systems and financial workflows

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance

5+ years of progressive experience in accounting, financial reporting, and financial analysis

Strong knowledge of GAAP, month-end close, and internal controls

Experience with ERP systems and advanced Microsoft Excel skills

Knowledge of sales tax, use tax, and property tax compliance

Ability to translate financial data into actionable business insights

Strong communication skills with the ability to partner across operations and leadership
