  • Advise leadership (e.g., CFO and Chief Accounting Officer) on financial systems strategy, risks, and investment priorities.
  • Maintain accountability for the integrity and accuracy of financial data supporting internal and external reporting, including regulatory and audited financial statements.
  • Oversee the controls framework governing accounting systems, ensuring compliance with SOX, regulatory requirements, and internal policies.
  • Own risk identification and mitigation strategies related to financial systems and data governance.

  • Influence cross-functional decision-making across Finance, IT, Risk, and Operations for all GL-impacting initiatives.
  • Direct vendor strategy and maintain relationships with external technology partners.
  • Direct governance of all system-to-GL reconciliations, ensuring completeness, timeliness, and documentation integrity.
  • Establish and enforce standards for testing, validation, and implementation of all GL-impacting system changes, with final sign-off authority.

  • Lead disaster recovery planning and execution for financial systems.
  • Champion automation, digitization, and process optimization initiatives across Finance systems.

  • Ensure adherence to all applicable regulatory requirements, including the Bank Secrecy Act and other financial services regulations.
  • Monitor evolving regulatory expectations and integrate requirements into financial systems and processes.
  • Lead and develop managers responsible for reconciliations and asset management systems.
