• Maintain accurate general ledger records and complete regular account reconciliations.
• Own month-end close activities and progressively assume responsibility for the accounting close process, including bank and credit card reconciliations, balance sheet reconciliations, recurring journal entries, accruals, prepaid expenses, and fixed asset schedules.
• Prepare preliminary financial statements and close documentation for CFO review.
• Prepare weekly, monthly, and ad hoc financial reports for the CFO and leadership team.
• Maintain cash flow schedules, expense reports, and supporting financial documentation.
• Support accounting processes related to project costing, purchase orders, inventory, work-in-progress, customer jobs, and manufacturing operations; reconcile operational information to accounting records.
• Coordinate with external accountants, payroll providers, auditors, vendors, and internal department leaders.
• Maintain organized digital financial records and ensure documentation is complete and audit-ready.
• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, controls, reporting, and workflow efficiency.

• Provide general finance and administrative support as required.

Qualifications:

• At least 10 years of bookkeeping, accounting support, or finance administration experience.
