This is a newly elevated seat reporting directly to the Corporate Controller, and the person who steps in will not inherit a polished process. You build it.

The other half is split across reporting and analysis work, inventory and cost accounting, fixed assets, and a real systems and process improvement mandate inside the ERP. The hire works closely with Operations, Sales, FP&amp;A, the Senior Cost Accountant, and the IT Systems Analyst, and is expected to bring structure to a process that has been carried at a more junior level until now.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Close ownership, the core mandate.</strong></div><div><br></div><ul><li>Drive the month-end close from start to finish, across multiple legal entities and currencies.</li><li>Deliver account reconciliations that are clean enough to land on the Controller's desk ready for sign-off.</li><li>Handle service, deployment, and production cost allocation entries as part of the regular cycle.</li><li>Run consolidation work including inter-company eliminations across three or more entities.</li></ul><div><br></div><div><strong>Reporting, analysis, and audit support.</strong></div><div><br></div><ul><li>Produce internal financial statements and the analysis behind them that leadership relies on to make calls.</li><li>Build out the audit package, working papers, and supporting schedules in partnership with the Controller.</li><li>Work through non-routine transactions and assess how new accounting standards land in the business.</li><li>Feed FP&amp;A with what they need for annual planning and monthly forecasting, including balance sheet roll forwards.</li></ul><div><br></div><div><strong>Inventory, cost, and fixed assets.</strong></div><div><br></div><ul><li>Own the accounting treatment for inventory and fixed assets, covering WIP, COS, depreciation continuity, and the reconciliations underneath them.</li><li>Partner with the Senior Cost Accountant and Operations on the annual standard cost update and ongoing variance analysis.</li><li>Coordinate physical inventory counts and tie the results back to the general ledger.</li></ul><div><br></div><div><strong>Systems, controls, and process.</strong></div><div>
