  • Support technical accounting, policy documentation, and external audit execution

    • Internal Controls & Risk Management

  • Design and implement internal controls with a SOX-ready mindset

  • Lead finance systems administration and continuous improvement (NetSuite or similar ERP)
  • Automate close, AP / AR, reconciliations, approvals, and reporting
  • Implement AI-enabled use cases (coding support, anomaly detection, invoice validation) with proper controls

    • Acquisition Accounting & Integration

  • Own the accounting integration playbook for acquisitions
  • Coordinate purchase accounting and ensure clean handoff to ongoing reporting
  • Standardize chart of accounts, policies, and reporting across acquired entities
