You will lead the day-to-day execution of month-end close and financial operations.

This role offers direct exposure to technical accounting and business combinations in a high-growth aerospace environment.

Responsibilities

Own month-end close execution and review

Perform detailed reviews of work completed by on- and offshore teams, with particular focus on AP, prepaids, fixed asset depreciation, and intercompany reconciliations
Prepare flux analysis at the subsidiary and consolidated levels to explain monthly variances across the P&L and balance sheet
Lead cleanup and standardization
Execute a retrospective cleanup of GL coding across all acquired entities to establish a unified chart of accounts
Build and own standard templates for all recurring reconciliations, ensuring they meet audit-ready standards
Document existing processes for AP, payroll, and fixed assets; identify weaknesses and implement step-change improvements
Run core accounting operations
Maintain the fixed asset register and lease accounting schedules (ASC 842), including monthly amortization and rollforwards
Monitor working capital and cash positioning; perform AR reviews and manage deposit liability amortization
Coordinate with external tax partners to ensure all compliance filings are tracked and supported by accurate GL data
Drive audit readiness
Implement and enforce strict cut-off procedures across all entities
Ensure every journal entry carries a clear audit trail, including supporting schedules and memos for non-routine adjustments
Qualifications

5–7 years of accounting experience; a mix of Big 4 or national firm audit and private industry is preferred
Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to apply it to everyday transactions including prepaids, accruals, and fixed assets
Proactive communicator with the ability to manage and mentor offshore staff, providing clear feedback and direction
Detail-oriented and process-driven; comfortable building structure where little exists
Independent and direct; thrives with ownership and minimal oversight
