  • Ability to oversee and mentor finance staff handling billing, payroll, and payments
  • Familiarity with union payments and compliance
  • Degree in Accounting or a related field preferred
  • Experience or willingness to lead an ERP transition (such as Acumatica); Sage 100 experience is a plus
  • Report directly to the CEO and President, serving as a key strategic advisor on financial operations

Salary: $160,000 - $200,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
