Own the end-to-end monthly intercompany close, including preparation and review of intercompany journal entries, cross-charges, and cost allocations across all IonQ legal entities.
Calculate, book, and support intercompany transfer pricing entries — including cost-plus service arrangements, markups, and IP/royalty charges — in accordance with IonQ’s transfer pricing policies.
Partner with Tax and external advisors to translate transfer pricing policy and intercompany agreements into operational accounting entries, and to support annual transfer pricing documentation.
Reconcile intercompany balances between entities, resolve out-of-balance conditions at the source, and manage the periodic intercompany settlement and netting cycle with Treasury.
Prepare and review intercompany eliminations for the monthly consolidation, ensuring balances fully eliminate and are supported by underlying documentation.

Support standalone legal entity financials and coordinate with local accounting providers on statutory reporting and audit requirements for international subsidiaries.
Support the accounting integration of newly acquired and newly formed entities, including establishing intercompany flows, mapping intercompany agreements, and aligning the chart of accounts.
Build and document scalable intercompany processes, calendars, and policies that reduce manual effort and shorten the close.
Drive intercompany automation within OneStream, including automated intercompany transactions, elimination logic, and multi-book and multi-currency configuration partnering with IT and external implementation resources.

Train and support entity controllers, shared services, and business partners on intercompany requirements and proper transaction routing.
Design, document, and execute internal controls over the intercompany and consolidation processes, and remediate control gaps as the control environment scales.
Serve as the primary intercompany contact for external auditors, preparing schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation (PBC list items) for quarterly reviews and the year-end audit.
