This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on financial operations while helping drive a more efficient five-day month-end close.
Accountabilities:
- Lead end-to-end month-end closing activities for assigned entities and accounting areas, including journal entries, account reconciliations, supporting schedules, and variance analysis.
- Manage bank and cash reconciliations across more than 20 bank and payment accounts, covering multiple entities and currencies, while ensuring timely resolution of outstanding items.

- Oversee accounts payable and expense management processes, ensuring invoices and receipts are properly recorded, transactions are accurately coded, approvals are completed, and payment documentation is retained.
- Maintain the integrity of balance sheet accounts, including prepayments, accruals, and intercompany balances, while monitoring aging items and coordinating follow-ups.
- Identify recurring accounting discrepancies and address their root causes through improved processes, systems, and internal controls.
- Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, reconciliation checklists, and documentation to reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency.
- Collaborate with Finance leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to accelerate the month-end close and strengthen confidence in financial reporting.
