• Use AI, workflow automation, and analytics tools to improve data preparation, reporting, forecasting, and recurring business-partner deliverables while following established controls.
• Identify and support practical process improvements to increase the speed, consistency, and accuracy of G&A planning and reporting; assist with ad hoc analyses, functional initiatives, and recurring finance priorities as needed.
