  • Your job is to own the client relationship, ensure quality, and jump in wherever needed to make sure the work gets done right.

  • Assist with defining, benchmarking, and implementing operational best practices
  • Maintain documented systems of accounting policies and operations
  • Manage client engagements, ensuring quality and timely delivery of services
