• Collect financial information from various business areas, standardize the data, and organize it for analysis and reporting use.
• Pull, validate, and reconcile reporting data from enterprise systems such as OneStream and Oracle to support accurate outputs.
• Create presentation materials for senior leadership that summarize findings, explain impacts, and support informed decision-making.
• Partner with FP& A, project support resources, and cross-functional teams to establish a repeatable reporting framework for future filings. Requirements
• 10+ years of experience in technical accounting, external reporting, or financial reporting leadership roles.
• Strong background preparing or supporting SEC reporting, including Form 10-K and related disclosure requirements.
