  • Drive accounting transformation through process standardization, automation, and responsible AI adoption-building a faster, more scalable finance function without sacrificing controls or auditability.
  • Drive SOX readiness through control design, scoping, and deficiency remediation, while championing SOP adoption across the team through structured training, clear ownership, and a culture of continuous improvement.
