• Collaborate cross-functionally with departments including Tax, Treasury, Legal, and Corporate Development to ensure accuracy and completeness of financial information.
• Support the Accounting team in the establishment, documentation, and maintenance of key accounting and business policies, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders.

• Demonstrated experience in drafting technical accounting memos and policies.
