  • Lead continuous enhancement of financial systems, tools, and processes (IFS, Epicor/DMAS platforms, BI tools); create automated dashboards, scalable reporting, and consolidation solutions while driving adoption and change management.
  • Support a strong internal-control environment-data integrity, segregation of duties, policy compliance, and root-cause resolution of control gaps.
  • Build relationships at all levels, teach financial acumen to non-finance colleagues, model high standards of conduct, and contribute to team development.
