• Identify and implement process improvements that strengthen accounting operations, internal controls, and reporting accuracy — including opportunities to leverage AI and automation to reduce manual effort.
• Maintain and enhance departmental documentation, including work instructions, policies, procedures, forms, checklists, and templates.
• Develop and deliver training and guidance related to financial policies, procedures, systems, and internal controls.
