Responsible for all accounting at an $80MM plant. After a few months at the plant, I realized that the plant was not viable under the company's business plan. I then worked on Inventory projects geared toward selling the division, while searching for a new opportunity. The facility went down to a skeleton crew a few months after I left and has since closed.
