• Proven ability to manage large, complex Excel workbooks with multiple tabs, inputs, and linked schedules.
• Experience performing variance analysis and a solid understanding of how financial outputs and reports should look.
• Ability to identify glaring issues, unusual balances, or reporting errors in financial work products and escalate or correct them appropriately.
• Comfort working with limited ERP involvement, relying primarily on Excel-based processes and tools.
• Availability to start quickly and commit to the assignment through mid-October.
• Ability to work onsite in Saginaw on a hybrid schedule, ideally four days per week.
