Assist with fixed asset accounting, including additions, disposals, CIP tracking, and depreciation schedules. Support cash flow reporting and related analysis for management visibility. Identify opportunities to improve close processes, reduce errors, and increase efficiency. Support external audit and lender requests with organized workpaper documentation. Assist in strengthening internal controls and standardizing accounting processes as the company continues to scale. Maintain detailed working paper packages with clear support for accounting treatment and financial activity.
