• Prepare clear technical documentation, including accounting position papers and supporting analysis for key conclusions.

• Detect inconsistencies, control gaps, or unusual contract provisions and recommend practical resolutions.

• Advise stakeholders on accounting implications and elevate material issues that may require leadership review.

• Contribute to the refinement of revenue recognition policies and support consistent application across contract reviews.

• Manage a high volume of agreement analysis while maintaining accuracy, organization, and strong attention to detail.
