Key Responsibilities

• Conduct monthly and quarterly variance analyses for OVP COGS and content costs, explaining drivers, implications, and recommended actions.
• Execute all monthly close tasks, including cost allocations, accruals, and product segment reclassifications.
• Act as the FP&A liaison for TRC's International business, supporting KPI reviews, P&L analysis, and forecasting.
