Job DescriptionThe Account to Report (A2R) process is a foundational, enterprise wide value stream that ensures the integrity, transparency, and timeliness of financial information across the organization. Spanning General Ledger, Close & Consolidation, Intercompany, Fixed Assets, and Financial Reporting, A2R underpins executive decision making, regulatory compliance, and external stakeholder confidence.
As business complexity, transaction volumes, and regulatory expectations continue to grow, traditional functional ownership is no longer sufficient. Bose is establishing a dedicated Business Process Owner – Account to Report to provide end-to-end accountability for the performance, design, and continuous transformation of the global A2R process. A defining aspect of this role is the applied use of process mining, advanced analytics, and AI enabled insights to create objective visibility into how financial close and reporting processes actually operate—and to drive fact based, cross functional improvement.
The Business Process Owner – Account to Report owns the global A2R process end to end, from transaction recording through financial close, consolidation, and external reporting. The role defines the process vision, operating model, performance metrics, and transformation roadmap, and serves as the single business authority for how A2R operates and evolves across the enterprise.
By leveraging process intelligence, advanced analytics, and applied AI, the BPO drives simplification, standardization, and scalability—ensuring that decisions related to process design, automation, controls, and digital enablement are grounded in data rather than local practices or functional silos.
