This person should be comfortable digging into account discrepancies, preparing reconciliations and financial statements, supporting audits, and partnering with operations to understand what is driving financial performance.

Transportation or logistics experience is beneficial because of the industry's operational complexity, but candidates from other high-volume, operationally driven environments with strong GAAP and general accounting experience may also translate well.
