  • Monitor the financial standing of current and potential customers to minimize risk exposure
  • Participate as a senior team member in the strategic planning process, ensuring plans align with long-term financial goals

  • Collaborate with senior leaders to drive operational efficiency across the organization

  • Responsible for performing the monthly process of closing the books and records of all operating companies, including periodic journal entries and reconciling accounts.

  • Coordinate with external service providers including compliance auditors, and banking institutions.
