- Assist with the preparation and review of technical disclosures in Forms 10-K and 10-Q, including footnotes and MD&A sections covering judgmental areas and significant transactions.
- Support the external audit process by preparing organized, well-documented support packages for positions and estimates reviewed as critical audit matters.
- Partner with Controllership, SEC Reporting, FP&A, and Legal to gather the inputs needed for technical positions and ensure accounting conclusions are communicated clearly across the organization.
- Participate in training and knowledge-sharing efforts to help build technical accounting awareness across the broader finance team.
