Demonstrated success leading M&A integrations and ERP conversions (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Workday, or similar).
Deep understanding of GAAP, FP&A, audit readiness, and cross-functional operations.
Strong communication, stakeholder management, and executive presence.
CPA or MBA preferred; public accounting and PE-backed experience a strong plus.
