  • Develop and maintain comprehensive internal controls designed to mitigate risk and improve the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting.
  • Identify opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of client finance operations.
  • Oversee regulatory reporting, tax planning, and compliance activities.
  • Proactively identify and address financial or operational risks.

Be a Trusted Advisor

  • Manage unexpected and sometimes urgent client matters with professionalism and sound judgment.
  • Build strong, long-term relationships with client leadership and stakeholders.
  • Support business development and growth initiatives for the Accounting Solutions Group and Wegner CPAs.
  • Look for opportunities to add value and help clients strengthen their organizations.

What You Bring
