• Audit compliance and board partnership: Lead financial governance and transparency by overseeing audits, regulatory filings and board reporting, while maintaining strong relationships with auditors, lenders, funders and advisors and ensuring ethical financial stewardship and timely risk escalation.
• Finance team systems and operating partnership: Build a high-performing, financially accountable organization by leading the finance team, partnering across HR, Payroll, IT and operations to strengthen controls, systems and reporting, and empowering leaders to effectively manage budgets and financial performance.
