• Partner cross‐functionally with Finance, Engineering, Project Managers, Supply Chain, and IT/SAP to support capital projects, audits, and process improvements
• Support complex settlement scenarios (multi‐asset, partial capitalization, and multiple depreciation areas)
• Maintain strong SOX controls, documentation standards, approval workflows, and audit trails across fixed assets and internal orders

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
• Relevant experience in fixed asset accounting, capital accounting, or project accounting within a manufacturing or complex environment
• Strong working knowledge of SAP (FI/AA, internal orders, CIP)

• Working knowledge of GAAP and IFRS depreciation and capitalization principles
