About Jacqueline Hillman

As a Finance and Accounting executive I have extensive achievements that span internal reporting, operational accounting, and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting/Sarbanes Oxley compliance in large public as well as PE backed companies. I bring years of proven ability to stand up new programs, transform and transition financial reporting and accounting functions, and streamline processes, procedures and controls. SARBANES-OXLEY – designed and staffed the financial assurance function, created a SOX404 playbook, and developed a comprehensive risk-based matrix of 450 key controls to facilitate the spin-off of Alcon, an eyecare company formerly part of Novartis. FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING SHARED SERVICES – managed and developed team of 60+ in a North American shared services center performing month-end closing, general accounting, credit and collections, accounts payable, fixed assets, travel expense reimbursement, payroll, tax and internal controls for a division of a Swiss Pharmaceutical Fortune 500 company. CONTROLLER – conducted monthly closing and general accounting for a $2B+ annual revenue US multi unit/multi location entity of the Consumer Electronics division of a Dutch Fortune 500 company. PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS – Examples:(1) redesigned the month-end close process, reducing hours worked by 28% over 3-day close period and elevating team morale, and (2) streamlind and simplified affiliate product margin reporting process resulting in 3-hour acceleration in global consolidation and reporting timelines. SAP ERP IMPLEMENTATIONS – Finance business lead on four separate SAP implementations. OUTSOURCING – Led due-diligence, scoping, solution identification, transition, go-live and ongoing operations for off-shore activities of high-volume transactional financial reporting and accounting functions, reducing internal full-time employees by 27 (45% reduction of internal team). I am able to craft risk-oriented strategies and plans, elevate financial reporting quality, identify and remediate internal controls gaps, and deliver results aligned with business goals. I look forward to connecting with you. J••••••••@me.com Cell phone: 77••••••93
