• I managed Monthly, Quarterly and Annual GL close at Square. I ensured that all deadlines for journal entries, variance analysis and reconciliations were met by our high-performing Accounting team of 30+ people. I built and managed a process to deliver high quality Audit PBCs to external auditors in a timely manner - critical to 10-K/Q Reporting. I also revamped and managed the monthly flux review process for the broader Finance Team and compiled the review document consumed by Controller/CFO on a monthly basis.
• I was a key contributor to Square’s IPO - Financial Statements and MD&A preparation, liaising with external auditors and business partners for ad hoc requests relating to S-1 filing and ownership of the accounting for IPO Equity Issuance Costs end-to-end.
• I led a team of five accountants, and owned the following areas of GL: Consolidations and GL Close, Capitalized Software, Accruals, Fixed Assets, Prepaids, Facilities Expenses, Leases, Deferred Rent, Cash, Debt, Intangibles, Patents and the majority of Corporate Opex. I reduced 2+ days of Staff Accountant effort per month by automating reconciliations and reporting for the areas I owned.
• In addition to GL areas, I was the go-to person for end-user questions for Oracle, Hyperion, Blackline and APEX Reporting tools.
