• Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and develop a team of GL and AP accountants spanning general ledger, fixed assets, accounts payable, and payroll, setting clear expectations, building review discipline into every deliverable, and growing the team’s technical depth as the company scales.
• Technical Accounting: Operationalize technical accounting conclusions in areas including ASC 842 lease accounting including embedded lease assessment, ASC 730 R&D cost treatment, and self-funded health plan IBNR reserves.
• Process Improvement: Drive improvements to the close and accounting processes bringing both increased speed & efficiency and demonstrated operational compliance.
• Procure-to-Pay Controls: Provide senior oversight of the vendor master and disbursement control environment, partnering with the Supply Chain team to provide support and governance of procurement across the AP and payment cycle.
