  • Oversee tax planning and compliance, including tax return preparation and filing, collaborating with advisors when necessary.
  • Maintain appropriate segregation of duties and monitor regulatory compliance in all financial processes.


Operational and Capacity Management

  • Assess firm capacity for growth, working with departments to review financial performance and budget alignment.
  • Identify and implement efficiency improvements and cost savings.
  • Oversee the development of strategies to analyze client profitability and staff productivity.
  • Cultivate strong relationships with partners to support their financial responsibilities, focusing on automation and efficiency tools to drive productivity.
