Apply U.S. GAAP and company accounting policies to routine accounting transactions and close activities.
Ensure compliance with accounting policies, internal controls, and documentation requirements.
Research routine accounting questions and consult with the Regional Accounting Manager on matters involving significant judgment or technical accounting considerations.
Support audit requests by preparing schedules, gathering supporting documentation, and responding to follow-up inquiries.
Maintain sales tax exemption records and support compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Ensure accounting records and documentation meet company standards for consistency, accuracy, and audit readiness.

Business Partnership and Operational Support

Partner with operational leaders to understand business activity and ensure transactions are reflected accurately in the financial records.

Support intercompany accounting processes and coordinate with Corporate Accounting and Shared Services teams.
Assist with analysis of operational and financial results and provide accounting insight to support decision-making.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
