• Process & Systems Optimization: Drive process improvement and automation. Evaluate, implement, and optimize financial systems (e.g., NetSuite, Salesforce, revenue management tools) to scale with the business.
• M&A Integration: Play a key role in financial due diligence and the subsequent integration of acquired companies, including purchase accounting (ASC 805).
• Business Partnership: Collaborate closely with the FP&A team to ensure accurate financial data for budgeting and forecasting. Partner with Sales Operations, Legal, and Professional Services to provide guidance on deal structure and revenue implications.
