• Prepare and maintain budgets, cash flow forecasts, and financial projections

• Ensure timely and accurate reporting to internal stakeholders and external finance partners

• Oversee compliance, internal controls, and audit readiness

• Collaborate with the COO and CEO on operational cost management and financial priorities

• Drive timely execution of deliverables and enforce accountability to financial deadlines

Qualifications

• Finance and accounting experience, including team leadership

• Experience overseeing or rebuilding in-house finance operations

• Strong budgeting, forecasting, and reporting capabilities

• Ability to recruit, manage, and motivate a finance team

• Industry experience in manufacturing is a plus; healthcare or similar regulated environments are also acceptable
