• Lead & Mentor: Coach and inspire a talented team of assistant divisional controllers, building shared standards across multiple business lines.
• Drive Financial Operations: Oversee month-end close, GL, AR/AP, cash flow management, tax, and annual audit processes.
• Strategic Partnering: Work closely with cross-functional operational leaders, supporting budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial stewardship.
• Systems Transformation: Play a pivotal, high-visibility role in an upcoming ERP migration, ensuring accounting needs are represented in system design and execution.
