M&A & Deal Integration: Partner with finance and M&A teams on accounting due diligence, technical research (ASC 842, revenue recognition), and financial integration for newly acquired assets.
Audit & Compliance: Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors, lead annual audit processes, and oversee tax compliance coordination.
Leadership & Controls: Guide and mentor accounting staff while refining internal controls, systems, and operational efficiency.
Qualifications
Experience: 7 to 10 years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 3 to 5 years in a supervisory or managerial capacity.
Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; active CPA license strongly preferred.
Industry Focus: Direct experience in power generation, energy, utilities, or renewable energy platforms (solar, wind, storage).
Technical Strengths: Strong background in project finance accounting, complex partnership structures, and tax equity transactions.
