  • Respond to auditor inquiries and resolve audit adjustments and findings, driving remediation and follow-up.
  • Help design, document, and test internal controls over financial reporting, and identify and close control gaps.
  • Coordinate with tax advisors and bookkeepers on tax filings and regulatory compliance.
