  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA or MBA preferred).
  • 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including 3+ years of leadership in a small or mid-sized organization.
  • Proven ability to operate both strategically and tactically — comfortable diving into details when needed.
  • Experience managing or implementing ERP / accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Deltek, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of GAAP, budgeting, forecasting, and cash management.
