The Manager partners closely with accounting, FP&A, retail operations, workforce development, and executive leadership so that numbers are accurate, explainable, and decision-ready.

• Support preparation and review of IRS Form 990 and related state filings for GIUMSC and related entities, including Schedule support and public-disclosure quality control.
