• Lead or support accounting-system implementations, integrations, reconciliations, and process improvements involving Sage, Procore, payroll, paperless AP, and related platforms.
• Identify control gaps, recurring errors, and inefficient workflows; recommend and implement practical improvements that strengthen accuracy, accountability, and efficiency.
