• Support month-end and quarter-end close activities, including review of journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations for assigned areas, with a focus on accuracy and root-cause resolution
• Prepare and present financial analyses, business cases, and recommendations to senior leadership in a concise and compelling manner

This person should be

• Strategic and commercially minded: connects financial analysis to business priorities and profitable growth
• Analytical and intellectually curious: challenges assumptions, identifies root causes, and tells the story behind the numbers
• Influential: communicates a clear point of view, makes recommendations, and builds credibility with senior and cross-functional leaders

• Continuous improvement oriented: simplifies work, strengthens controls, and uses technology and automation to improve speed and quality
• Collaborative: builds strong relationships across finance, commercial, operations, and functional teams
