Evaluate and apply emerging technologies, including generative AI, to appropriate tax use cases while maintaining strong controls, documentation, reviewability, and data governance.

Support quarterly and annual income tax close processes, including data preparation, validation, reconciliations, workpaper development, and issue resolution.

Troubleshoot system, workflow, and data issues; identify root causes and coordinate timely resolution with tax, finance, accounting, information technology, vendors, and third-party consultants.
