• Liaise with external auditors on technical accounting positions, ensuring issues are identified early and resolved efficiently
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to support a public-company operating model
• Identify accounting and reporting risks proactively and recommend solutions that balance technical compliance with business practicality
• Provide review, coaching, and mentorship to junior team members, elevating overall team capability and execution quality
• Support ongoing SOX readiness and control documentation related to technical accounting and financial reporting processes
• Stay current on emerging accounting standards and SEC developments, assessing impact and leading implementation efforts as needed
