• Work with Finance, Tax, Legal, Treasury, and shared service teams to resolve cross-functional issues affecting statutory reporting or tax compliance for assigned entities.
• Identify gaps, handoff risks, or control weaknesses across the statutory and tax compliance process, and recommend practical improvements to improve timeliness, clarity of ownership, and audit readiness.
