• Strategic Business Partnership: Consult with plant management, interpret operational data, and provide creative recommendations to reduce costs and improve financial performance.

• Cost Accounting & Operations: Gather and organize multi-source data from engineering, the shop floor, and accounting to track standard costs, analyze variances, and reconcile transactions.

• Financial Close & Reporting: Actively assist in the monthly and quarterly financial close processes. Assemble sophisticated reports that summarize financial status, highlight historical trends, and identify potential risks.

• Site Visits & Operational Alignment: Travel occasionally to Addison and Turtle Lake to walk the floor and connect with the local teams, ensuring your financial insights are grounded in operational realities.
