- Ensure audit readiness through proactive management of accounting documentation, controls, and supporting analyses
- Oversee accounting policy application, reporting structure decisions, chart or mapping governance where relevant, and consistency of GAAP presentation across reports and schedules
- Drive cross-functional accounting risk management by identifying upstream/downstream dependencies, surfacing issues early, and representing accounting in broader operational initiatives
- Develop and manage processes to drive high financial reporting quality, maintain control effectiveness, and ensure readiness for issuance of financial statements
- Maintain higher-level authority over accounting systems governance, including ERP role design and management, access reviews, and designated administrative accounting permissions
- Build organizational capability through talent development, succession planning, performance management, and scalable team design
- Establish clear ownership, accountability, and development pathways across the accounting organization
- Partner with Finance, Legal, Revenue Operations, Tax, and business leaders to evaluate the accounting implications of new products, contracts, acquisitions, strategic initiatives, and business model changes
