About the Role

We are seeking an Associate, Financial Reporting & Audits to join our Finance team. In this role, you will work closely with Managers and Directors to lead local statutory audits and control assessments, focusing on both core business processes and technology-driven initiatives.

This position sits at the unique intersection of business operations and technology. You will be responsible for triaging and assessing the reasonableness of external audit requests, ensuring high-quality delivery through seamless collaboration with internal teams. While traditional SOX responsibilities—such as leading walkthroughs, identifying control gaps, and performing testing—are central to the role, an interest or background in IT-focused initiatives is a significant plus.

You will have the opportunity to develop an end-to-end understanding of our critical processes, enhance our risk posture, and create succinct documentation that enables leadership to make informed decisions. This role requires a blend of strategic thinking and hands-on execution to simplify and operationalize complex audit requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Audit Coordination: Act as a primary point of contact for external auditors during financial audits and reviews; prepare and manage technical memos, schedules, and supporting documentation.

• Request Management: Ensure the accuracy and timeliness of audit responses, verifying that all necessary materials and disclosures meet compliance standards.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with the FP&A team to coordinate responses regarding forecasts for impairment analysis, going-concern assessments, and other complex financial areas.

• Financial Storytelling: Prepare and deliver clear, comprehensive explanations of financial statements and disclosures to auditors and key external stakeholders.

• Process Optimization: Proactively identify and recommend process improvements to enhance financial operating efficiency and streamline global operations.

What You Will Bring

• Communication Excellence: Exceptional verbal and written skills, with the ability to convey complex financial and technical information clearly to diverse stakeholders.

• Interpersonal Savvy: Strong relationship-management skills to effectively gather information and resolve audit hurdles with internal "clients."

• Organizational Rigor: Proven project management skills with the ability to coordinate multiple high-priority assignments under tight deadlines.

• Uncompromising Accuracy: Extreme attention to detail to ensure the integrity and completeness of all information provided to auditors.

• Educational Foundation: A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

Proficiencies & Attributes

• Accountability: A proactive professional who takes full ownership of their work with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude.

• Collaboration-First: Thrives in a team environment and operates with a "stakeholder-service" mentality.

• Agility: An expert multitasker who can self-prioritize in a fast-paced, global environment.

• Risk Intelligence: The ability to quickly identify risks and opportunities while maintaining a focus on process improvement and results.

• Global Mindset: Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with teams working across multiple time zones.

• Technical Preferences: Big Four audit experience and proficiency in NetSuite are highly preferred.
