  • Investigate, resolve, and document reconciling items with defined escalation protocols

  • Establish reconciliation standards, materiality thresholds, and aging monitoring

  • Strengthen preventive and detective controls to ensure completeness and accuracy of financial data

  • Validate third‑party data feeds, statements, and invoices using standardized reconciliation procedures, defined variance thresholds, and aging analysis

  • Coordinate investigation and resolution of third‑party discrepancies with Loss Mitigation and Management P&L, and maintain documented issue logs and remediation tracking

  • Collaborate with forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis

  • Support ACL/CECL processes by validating product-level data inputs (completeness, accuracy, and timeliness), preparing key reconciliations/tie-outs between source systems, sub-ledgers, management views, and the General Ledger, and documenting variances and resolutions for model governance and audit readiness

  • Serve as an accounting point of contact for CECL/ACL governance by providing support for process documentation and control evidence for assigned inputs and reconciliations (control ownership and model ownership remain with the designated process/model owners)

  • Ensure financial, risk, and management reports are aligned and traceable to authoritative data sources

Governance, Controls & Change Management

  • Define escalation protocols and remediation timelines for third‑party reconciliation issues and recurring variances

Critical Competencies & Professional Expectations

  • Communicates clearly and effectively with stakeholders across Accounting, Finance, Management P&L, Risk, Operations, and IT/Data; escalates issues with context, options, and recommended actions

  • Applies strong professional judgment; appropriately challenges assumptions, identifies risks, and advocates for compliant accounting and control outcomes

  • Drives process improvements in a matrixed environment by influencing partners without direct reporting authority and aligning clear owners, timelines, and deliverables

  • Establishes and maintains operating cadence (close calendars, reconciliation reviews, issue logs) to ensure controls and reporting standards are executed consistently
