- Partner with Legal, FP&A, M&A, and business unit leaders on deal structuring, revenue recognition, business combinations, and other non-routine transactions

- Oversee SOX compliance for technical accounting controls: maintain process narratives, execute walkthroughs, and coordinate control testing
- Drive implementation of new FASB/IASB standards, including project scoping, cross-functional coordination, and executive communication
- Lead intercompany accounting governance, including transfer pricing alignment and eliminations
- Mentor and develop accounting team members on technical topics; build internal capability through training and knowledge-sharing
