I lead US GAAP legal entity reporting and close transformation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Wells Fargo, I own monthly accounting and financial reporting for EMEA legal entities under US GAAP, managing the month-end close end to end.
I've strengthened general ledger monitoring, inter-entity and balance sheet reconciliations, weekly liquidity reporting, and Regulation W compliance. My control enhancements reduced aged reconciliation items by over 20%, while Excel and Blackline automation reduced manual reporting effort by 25%.
Previously, I supported global legal entity reporting at State Street, Oracle, and Capgemini, partnering with Financial Control, Tax, auditors, and regional controllers to resolve reporting and control issues.
