• Support internal and external audits by preparing schedules, reconciliations, supporting documentation, and responses to audit requests.
• Ensure compliance with Peruvian accounting and applicable tax requirements, working closely with the Tax Specialist and external advisers when specialist input is required.
• Perform data cleansing and master data review activities, including identification of duplicate, incomplete, inactive, or inaccurate vendor, customer, account, dimension, and banking records.
• Support MSD/D365 migration readiness by validating balances, open items, fixed asset and construction-in-progress information, and other accounting data selected for migration.
• Document accounting processes, controls, reconciliations, and recurring activities to support knowledge transfer, testing, cutover, and operational continuity.
• Identify process and control improvements and take ownership of follow-up actions through resolution.
• Communicate clearly in English and Spanish and prepare reports, schedules, and explanations for local, regional, and global stakeholders.
• Complete an orderly handover of assigned activities and project-support documentation at the end of the temporary assignment.
• Undertake additional accounting, finance, and project-related duties as required to support local operations and the successful delivery of MSD/D365.
