To evaluate my accounting team's performance, I track metrics such as the accuracy of financial reports, the timeliness of close processes, and the number of process improvements implemented. I also gauge team satisfaction through regular feedback sessions.

When I encounter discrepancies in financial reporting, I take a systematic approach. I investigate the root cause, collaborate with relevant team members to gather information, and implement corrective actions. Open communication is key to resolving issues efficiently.

I have substantial experience with Netsuite ARM, having utilized it to streamline revenue management processes. I have effectively customized reports, managed data migrations during upgrades, and provided training to team members to maximize the system's efficiency and usability.
