• Lead the first-year GAAS audit end to end: direct the team through remediation of historical balances, prepare audit-ready opening balances and supporting schedules, and drive the engagement to a clean opinion on deadline, with a PCAOB-readiness mindset throughout. • Own the monthly and quarterly close calendar across the multi-entity structure: enforce timeline discipline, direct multi-currency consolidation and intercompany eliminations, and ensure every sub-function (Treasury, Payroll, AP/AR, FinOps) delivers accounting-ready inputs before close, not after. • Serve as the company's authoritative voice on U.S. GAAP: write and own technical accounting memos referencing applicable ASC guidance, take defensible positions under audit scrutiny, and codify accounting policies and procedures across the group. • Own equity and stock-compensation accounting (cap table, ASC 718) and related disclosures; coordinate PFIC reporting for U.S. investors in foreign structures, partnering with the Tax Director and external tax advisors to deliver PFIC Annual Information Statements and QEF support on time. • Use Claude to draft and iterate on technical accounting memos, build automated close workflows with structured reminders and sub-function checklists, and validate that outputs from Treasury, Payroll, AP/AR, and FinOps are accounting-ready before close, reducing manual follow-up and compressing the close cycle. • Build and maintain NetSuite workflows, month-end close automation, and reconciliation automation in coordination with FinOps; both build simple automations directly and direct the team on more complex integrations. • Manage external auditors and advisors (Big 4 or national firm) to scope, quality, and timeline: you drive their schedule, not the other way around. • Build and deliver board reporting packages; own the external auditor and advisory relationships as the designated PAO-track leader. • Lead and develop the accounting team: set the standard for technical accuracy, operational discipline, and audit-ready deliverables, and pull the team forward rather than simply reviewing their output.

• Anchor accounting function during growth and transformation • Review and manage Right-of-Use assets and lease liabilities for compliance • Oversee PPE accounting, refine and enforce capitalization policies • Review complex transactions and ensure audit readiness • Partner with leadership to strengthen accrual methodologies • Establish and enforce reconciliation standards and review controls • Prepare detailed audit schedules for compliance with US GAAP • Actively participate in software migration and workflow design • Assess financial risk and implement improvements to internal controls
