- Support the development of investor relations materials, including earnings releases, scripts, and presentations.
- Implement and continuously improve reporting tools, templates, and processes to support accuracy, timeliness, and scalability.
- Educate internal teams on public company reporting requirements and best practices; provide training and guidance as needed. Monitor changes in SEC regulations and accounting standards, and proactively assess and communicate their potential impact on disclosures and processes.
