This is a "hands-on" leadership role. We are looking for an experienced professional who is comfortable performing detailed accounting work-such as complex journal entries, reconciliations, and budget tracking-while simultaneously providing guidance to administrative staff and acting as the primary liaison for internal and vendor-related financial inquiries. If you are a detail-oriented expert who enjoys both the technical side of accounting and the operational side of office management, this role is a perfect fit.

• Financial Analysis: Lead the preparation of financial reports and documentation. Provide detailed research and resolution for discrepancies or errors in financial data.
• Budget Management: Assist in budget development and ongoing management. Maintain budget summaries, track changes, and provide insights into departmental cash flow and financial health.
Operational Leadership
• Departmental Liaison: Serve as the central point of contact for internal and external inquiries regarding vendor charges, department expenses, and financial requests.
• Team Guidance: Provide technical mentorship and workflow direction to administrative team members, ensuring that daily transaction processing meets our quality standards.
• Administrative Oversight: Manage special projects and office administrative functions (including inventory, supply procurement, and process documentation) to ensure seamless business operations.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Experience Baseline: 10-15 years of progressive experience in financial accounting, reporting, and operational support.
• Technical Mastery: Advanced knowledge of GAAP and accounting principles. Proficiency in enterprise-level accounting software/ERP systems and Microsoft Office (specifically Excel).
• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to manage workflows, lead process improvements, and guide junior staff.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; you must be comfortable acting as a professional liaison between internal departments and external vendors.

• A proactive, "do-what-it-takes" mindset-someone who balances high-level financial reporting with the necessary administrative tasks that keep the office running.
