• Creating scalable, audit-ready financials and reporting systems across various educational business lines
• Continuously evolving and redesigning financial frameworks to support billion-dollar business units without increasing headcount
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Managing a large finance team — this role focuses on systems, not team management
• Overseeing month-end close cycles or manually approving transactions
• Accepting existing ERP workflows as satisfactory — you'll actively seek and eliminate inefficiencies
• Delegating tedious tasks to junior staff — you'll lead by example
