About John Esher

Senior Accountant on the Lease Accounting team at Brightstar Lottery with 7 years of progressive experience supporting complex, multi‑entity environments under US GAAP and IFRS.I bring deep expertise in lease accounting and lease management, account reconciliations, month‑end close, financial reporting and disclosures, audit support, and U.S. and international contract review. My work emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and strong partnership with cross‑functional teams to ensure reliable financial outcomes in highly regulated environments.A defining focus of my career has been process efficiency and scalability. I proactively evaluate existing workflows, identify opportunities for simplification and automation, and implement improvements that enhance speed, accuracy, and sustainability. My goal is not only to execute effectively, but to strengthen the underlying processes so teams can operate more efficiently and focus on higher‑value work.I am motivated by roles that combine technical excellence, leadership, and continuous improvement, and I consistently aim to leave teams and processes stronger than I found them. Long term, I plan to apply this foundation to real estate development, with a focus on ethical ownership, affordable housing, and long‑term community impact.
