Kevin McBride

As a Senior Accounting Leader serving at the Controller level, I bring 18+ years of experience guiding accounting operations, financial reporting, and enterprise finance infrastructure within complex organizations. I focus on driving operational discipline, modernizing accounting processes and systems, and ensuring accurate, timely financial reporting that supports confident executive decision-making. I'm recognized for partnering closely with leadership, finance, and operations teams to align accounting operations with strategic priorities while improving efficiency, compliance, and reporting transparency.

Key Achievements Include:

✅ Redesigned enterprise close process following Roche’s acquisition of Spark Therapeutics, eliminating manual workflows and implementing standardized controls to reduce the reporting cycle by 80% and align with Roche global reporting timelines.

✅ Directed accounting transformation associated with SAP implementation, overseeing financial data migration, process redesign, and system integration across accounting operations and successfully delivering go-live on the scheduled implementation date.

✅ Directed accounting operations and financial reporting for a biotechnology organization with ~$1B in assets, ~$500M in operating expenses, and ~700 employees while leading a 7-person accounting leadership team.

✅ Played a key role in integrating Spark Therapeutics into Roche’s global finance structure, transitioning financial reporting processes, controls, and reporting timelines from public company SEC requirements to Roche corporate reporting standards.
