About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the finance transformation roadmap — identifying inefficiencies across the accounting function and leading end-to-end implementation of scalable improvements.
Lead the evaluation, selection, and rollout of close management and automation tools (e.g., FloQast, Power Automate, Power BI), including stakeholder alignment, change management, and training.
Redesign the month-end close process in partnership with the Accounting leaders, with a focus on reducing cycle time, eliminating manual touchpoints, and improving data quality.
Partner with finance systems teams on ERP enhancements, workflow integrations, and data infrastructure improvements (NetSuite and Coupa tools).
Establish and maintain SOPs for all key accounting processes, ensuring institutional knowledge is documented, scalable, and audit-ready.
Define and track KPIs for close efficiency and team productivity; present progress and recommendations to the Controller and senior leadership.
Serve as the finance lead on M&A transactions from pre-close through full integration — including due diligence support, purchase price allocation, opening balance sheet review, and post-acquisition accounting.
Coordinate with legal, FP&A, tax, and external advisors to ensure timely and accurate accounting treatment of acquisition-related items including goodwill, intangibles, and deferred revenue adjustments.
Lead the harmonization of accounting policies, charts of accounts, and systems across acquired entities.
Build and maintain a repeatable M&A integration playbook, incorporating lessons learned from each transaction to accelerate future integrations.
Monitor post-acquisition financial performance and flag accounting or reporting issues early to the Controller.
