- Partner with the Controller's organization to ensure operational information, project data, and financial reporting remain aligned through timely reconciliations and issue resolution.

Opportunity-to-Cash & Project Code Governance

- Set up, govern, and maintain the integrity of project/engagement codes; ensure codes are correctly structured, funded, and mapped for accurate revenue, cost, and margin capture.

Billing, Invoicing & Revenue
