SEC & External Reporting

• Lead the preparation and submission of periodic SEC filings, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the Earnings Release, and the Annual Proxy Statement.

• Prepare and maintain the monthly internal reporting package, including variance analysis on consolidated results for presentation to management.
• Partner closely with the FP&A team to bridge actual financial results to prior period, forecast, and budget, providing clear, well-supported explanations of variances that connect reported results to the underlying business drivers.
• Support the preparation of business review meeting materials, translating consolidated financial results and budget-to-actual bridges into clear, actionable management reporting.
• Assist with month-end close, including ownership of judgmental areas such as share-based compensation, equity and the ongoing tracking of non-GAAP adjustments.

Technical Accounting & Policy

• Serve as the primary resource for technical accounting research under US GAAP, evaluating the applicability of new standards and guidance to the Company's financial reporting.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of internal accounting policies and procedures in collaboration with the Corporate Controller.
