Prepare journal entries and financial statement disclosures related to hedging activities and answer client inquiries about our deliverables Apply critical judgment on hedge accounting elections — fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, and de-designation scenarios. Advise clients on structuring new hedging relationships to achieve qualification and optimize effectiveness. Translate new FASB and IASB guidance into clear, actionable impact summaries for clients and internal teams.

Lead audit support — preparation of work product and direct engagement with external auditors on derivative and hedge accounting matters.
