This role is responsible for day-to-day financial operations, including billing and invoicing, accounts receivable follow-up, bill and expense management, account reconciliations, financial reporting, and other accounting activities that support the business units. In addition to executing accounting processes, this individual is expected to understand the business, identify issues, provide practical guidance, and help business leaders make informed financial and operational decisions.
