• Financial Reconciliation & Controls: Perform rigorous monthly tax accruals, execute quarterly account ledger reconciliations, and maintain comprehensive supporting data to uphold Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance and audit readiness.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate closely across internal Billing, Legal, Accounting, and enterprise Sales divisions to ensure compliant transactional designs for product launch rollouts and net-new go-to-market decisions.
• AI-Driven Automation Workflow: Design and pilot process optimization models, incorporating advanced AI-enabled data parsing tools to automate manual tax processing loops and minimize compliance exposure.
