Maintain audit-ready support and tie-outs for every equity figure in the financial statements and disclosures.

Liquidity events and capital structure

Lead the accounting analysis for tender offers, secondary transactions, IPO-related events, and corporate reorganizations as they affect employee equity.

Lead the modeling process around the expected financial statement impact of an IPO on equity awards, including expense recognition, net settlement, and tax withholding, and keep the model current as timing and terms evolve.

Technical accounting and policy

Research complex accounting questions under US GAAP and write clear, well-supported technical memos that document facts, guidance, analysis, and conclusions.

Serve as a technical resource on non-routine transactions beyond equity, as needed - areas could include: debt vs. equity accounting (ASC 480), debt (ASC 470), leases (ASC 842), business combinations (ASC 805), and global entity matters.
