About Taylor B. Davis

Finance transformation leader specializing in General Ledger and Record-to-Report modernization within complex, regulated financial institutions.Over the past decade, I have partnered with global and regional banks and insurers to design and deliver enterprise-scale finance transformation initiatives spanning GL, subledger, regulatory reporting, and finance infrastructure modernization. My work sits at the intersection of business architecture and disciplined execution, translating accounting, regulatory, and reporting requirements into integrated target-state solutions across process, systems, data, and controls.I have led multi-country IFRS17 implementations, Chart of Accounts redesigns, subledger integrations, reporting rationalization efforts, and large-scale transformation roadmaps. The focus is always the same: simplify complexity, reduce manual risk, strengthen auditability, and enable Finance to operate with greater clarity and confidence.I build alignment across Finance, Technology, Risk, and Compliance partners in highly matrixed environments, helping leaders make practical design decisions and manage trade-offs under regulatory and operational constraints. I care deeply about building durable finance capabilities and developing strong teams who can sustain transformation long after implementation.If you are leading General Ledger modernization, finance operating model transformation, or regulatory change, I would welcome the conversation.
