What You'll Do
Reporting to the Head of Finance, this role is accountable for reporting outputs, reporting standards, technical accounting and external disclosures. This role is designed as a technical and reporting position, acting as the hands-on technical lead, raising standards through example and direct ownership of complex areas.
In our small team, ownership means personally preparing core deliverables and being accountable for their accuracy and timeliness, not delegating or reviewing others' work.
In this role, you will be responsible for:

* Prepare accounting elements of the monthly reporting deck
* Partner with the Finance Manager to improve close accuracy, automation, and documentation
* Own accounting treatment for strategic partner relationships, benefits, and rebates.

Tax
