Coordinate accounting workflows, assign ownership, and introduce practical automation or AI-enabled tools that improve follow-up and reliability without weakening controls.
  • Merger + Acquisition Accounting Ownership: Support full cycle accounting for acquired businesses, ensuring opening balances, revenue, payables, payroll, and related are accurate, supported, and properly coded.
