Financial Control & Process Support

• Partner with Accounting and Corporate FP&A to ensure accurate month-end close, including accruals, revenue recognition, and marketing cost allocations.
• Support financial governance processes, including review of business cases and adherence to internal controls.
• Assist in managing financial systems and tools (e.g., Oracle, Essbase, Cognos), ensuring timely and accurate data submissions.
• Help drive continuous improvement in planning, reporting, and analytics processes through automation, AI-enabled tools, and standardization.
