• Manage annual audit activities and serve as primary point of contact for external auditors.
• Maintain and continuously improve internal controls and standard accounting procedures.
• Manage state and local filings including sales/use tax and business registrations.
• Partner with production and operational leaders to understand cost drivers and financial impacts.
• Provide ad hoc reporting and analysis in support of corporate finance requests.
