- Overseeing the month-end close process across multiple legal entities.
- Driving continuous improvement across financial reporting, controls, and governance.
- Identifying opportunities to automate manual processes and improve efficiency through technology and AI-enabled solutions.
- Challenging existing processes and implementing scalable, best-in-class reporting practices.
- Supporting finance transformation initiatives, systems optimization, and process standardization.
