The US Controller will lead all aspects of operational accounting processes for the US entity, with a strong emphasis on inventory management, foreign exchange (FX) management, intercompany transactions, consolidations, treasury, accounts payable (AP), and accounts receivable (AR) in the US. This role will ensure compliance with US GAAP and provide critical operational oversight to optimize financial processes.
