• Serve as the subject matter expert for assigned areas, including researching and documenting technical accounting positions behind complex or non-routine transactions.
• Lead accounting projects and system changes from planning through delivery.

• Day-to-day experience using an AI tool for analysis, automation, or documentation, with sound judgment in validating its output.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to clearly explain accounting decisions and reasoning.
• Understanding of people, process, and system controls, and a track record of leading a project or process improvement.

Preferred Qualifications
