• Support recurring balance sheet analytical reviews and threshold-based testing, including updates to methodology, categorization, and supporting explanations.
• Prepare and maintain analyses that support review of key balances, trends, and reporting classifications.
• Identify opportunities to improve close and reporting processes, particularly in areas involving repeated back-and-forth, unclear ownership, or inefficient communication.
• Support opportunities to enhance close and reporting processes through AI automation, chatbot capabilities, reporting tools, and digital workflow improvements.
• Operate with a high level of ownership and independence across recurring deliverables, stakeholder support, and project work.
• Balance multiple priorities effectively, including close execution, ad hoc stakeholder needs, project work, and process improvement activities.
