About Pablo Martinez

I lead technical accounting and hedge accounting governance in multinational environments, bridging Treasury/Risk activity to audit-ready outcomes under IFRS and US GAAP.In renewables, I oversee end-to-end derivatives and hedge accounting execution—designation and documentation (IFRS 9 / ASC 815), effectiveness/ineffectiveness, OCI/P&L mechanics and disclosures—with hands-on ownership of systems and data workflows (e.g, SAP close processes, reconciliations, and Bloomberg analytics/market data inputs).My background spans Big 4 leadership and global banking, including accounting policy, standards adoption (IFRS 9/15/16), and strategic transaction support (contracts, acquisitions, and new products). I’ve delivered across US, Canada, Spain, Chile, and Colombia, partnering with Controllers, Treasury, Risk, FP & A, and external auditors to standardize governance, shorten close cycles, and reduce recurring audit issues.Specialties (Technical + Leadership)Technical accounting lead for complex transactions and new business initiatives (IFRS & US GAAP) across energy and financial servicesHedge accounting governance and month-end execution for interest rate and commodity derivatives (IFRS 9 / ASC 815): designation, documentation, effectiveness, OCI/P&L, disclosuresRisk + accounting interface: interest rate risk, commodity risk, treasury activity, valuation inputs, control evidence, audit readinessAccounting policy, standards adoption, and multi-GAAP structuring for strategic transactions (M&A, new products, contracts)Internal controls (ICOFR): risk identification, control design, testing, remediation, and sustainable complianceTools / Data / SystemsSAP • Bloomberg • Excel (Power Query/Power Pivot) • SQL • Tableau • Power BIB.S.
