• Own the yearly financial audit: Serve as the primary contact for external auditors, while preparing key schedules and coordinating with stakeholders in Finance and the business at large, to deliver the right information on time.

• Level up our systems: Keep our accounting records accurate and reliable, while driving system rollouts and automation that makes our Finance function stronger.

• Keep commission process on track: Manage the commission calculation process today, and drive improvements that will allow Revenue Operations to take it over in the future.
