About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Account and bank reconciliation: maintain clean, up-to-date reconciliations across all balance sheet accounts and entities on a daily basis
Contribute to finance transformation and system improvements: identify manual or repetitive tasks and collaborate with Financial Data to drive automation and reduce closing friction over time; translate new business streams and P&L lines into accounting (acting as an interface between business teams and Finance)
