• Own key areas of the monthly close, including timelines, checklists, journal entries, and review-ready support. • Prepare and/or review complex reconciliations and rollforwards (accruals, payroll, deferred items, reserves as applicable). • Build and enforce a clean close cadence: cutoff discipline, variance analysis, and clear ownership. • Partner with FP&A to ensure actuals are reliable and variances are understood (and not explained away). • Strengthen accounting operations: improve workflows for expense coding, approvals, and documentation. • Support audit/tax readiness: maintain PBC-ready support, respond to requests, and drive issues to resolution. • Implement lightweight internal controls appropriate for our stage (segregation, approvals, change logs, close sign-offs). • Help evaluate and improve tools/systems (ERP, expense platform, AP tools) and establish scalable processes. • Mentor junior teammates as the team grows (review work, level up documentation and rigor).
