• Serve as technical SBC expert for clients and internal teams, applying US GAAP accounting standards under ASC 718
• Offer flex support for other service type engagements including equity administration tasks and other service engagements (409A valuations, onboarding) as needed
• Build scalable SBC processes, documentation, and best practices
