- Partner with cross-functional teams on new products, business initiatives, and operational changes to assess accounting implications and appropriate financial reporting treatment.
- Improve accounting processes through automation, stronger reconciliations, reporting enhancements, standardized practices, and technology solutions.
- Lead, coach, and develop four accounting team members through performance management, technical guidance, workload prioritization, and employee development.
- Set clear priorities, support continuity of accounting operations, and collaborate with Finance, Operations, Product, Technology, and other stakeholders to address accounting considerations.
