Responsibilities

• Prepare recurring debt and note amortization entries monthly across multiple legal entities.
• Prepare intercompany loan entries monthly across foreign currency and non-foreign currency loan structures.

• Confirm books closed status for all assigned corporate holding entities monthly and escalate any outstanding items promptly.
• Review intercompany reconciliations for all corporate holding entities and execute intercompany clean-up and netting entries.

• Review global balance sheet variation analyses and market-submitted explanations for assigned entry-level account categories on a monthly, quarterly, and hard-close basis.
• Review selected balance sheet account balances on a quarterly basis to ensure appropriate and consistent chart of accounts usage.
• Support close integrity by reviewing unposted batch activity across all markets during the monthly close cycle, ensuring all ledgers are cleared and activity is properly posted for the reporting period to eliminate downstream impacts of late or missing adjustments.
• Analyze select balance sheet intercompany reconciling items and escalate findings to Manager.
• Support close administration tasks, including maintaining internal reporting calendars, system access reviews, and cost center maintenance on a recurring basis.
• Support statutory financial statement request coordination.
• Actively participate in the team's process improvement and automation agenda.
• Support the build-out and maintenance of automated templates for assigned tasks including cash entries, royalty accruals, intercompany loan entries, negative balance reviews, and intercompany netting processes.
• Identify opportunities within assigned workstreams where templating, automation, or process simplification could reduce manual effort and escalate ideas to the Senior Accountant or Manager.
• Maintain updated process documentation for all assigned tasks as changes are implemented.
• Bring a continuous improvement mindset to all assigned responsibilities — regularly evaluating close processes for efficiency, accuracy, and control effectiveness.
