Key Responsibilities for the Controller:

Oversee month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes. • Manage financial reporting, general ledger activities, and account reconciliations. • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management efforts. • Maintain internal controls and ensure compliance with accounting standards and company policies. • Partner with leadership to provide financial analysis and business insights. • Support audit activities and identify opportunities for process improvements.
