• Help define the accounting framework the ERP must support, including multi-entity structure, chart of accounts, consolidations, controls, reporting, workflows, and integrations.
• Play a significant leadership role in implementation, process design, data conversion, testing, controls, and adoption.
• Improve financial-data consistency, integration, and automation across the organization.

• Develop strong relationships across Leadership, Billing, Operations, Payroll, People, Compliance, and other functions.
• Understand the operational drivers behind financial results and ensure they are appropriately reflected in the financial statements.
• Support accounting integration of acquisitions and new entities.
• Identify accounting, process, and control risks early and drive practical solutions.
• Collaborates with other divisions and departments to carry out the organization's goals and objectives.
