Key Responsibilities

Global Consolidations and Close Management

• Manage the end-to-end global financial consolidation process for monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting, including the collection, validation, consolidation, review, and reporting of financial results.

• Apply U.S. GAAP and company accounting policies to evaluate whether consolidated financial statements are complete, accurate, and supported by appropriate analysis and documentation.

• Review consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and equity activity, including period-over-period analytics, unusual items, and completeness of consolidation adjustments.
