• Ensure alignment between CoA design, EPM planning models, reporting hierarchies, and business dimensions.
• Partner with finance stakeholders to align solutions with operational and strategic objectives.

• Experience leading Chart of Accounts redesign and understanding how upstream ERP architecture supports downstream EPM and reporting.
