• Entity Separation & Governance: Maintain complete financial separation between entities, properly document intercompany transactions or shared cost allocations, and develop corporate governance procedures.
• Financial Policy & Accounting Practice: Set internal controls, financial policies, and month-end close standards. Establish best practices within the ERP system, recommend purchasing approval limits, and coordinate tax planning with external CPA firms.
• Working Capital & Performance Tracking: Monitor receivables, payables timing, and working capital performance to identify which work types, customers, and job estimates generate maximum profitability.

• Advanced financial modeling capabilities in Microsoft Excel and excellent written English communication skills.

Highly Regarded Experience:

• Prior hands-on experience using Acumatica ERP or similar manufacturing ERP platforms.
• Experience evaluating corporate legal filings, governance documents, and entity structures.
