• Assist with 1099 preparation and other required financial filings.

• Help maintain compliance with established accounting policies, internal controls, and GAAP.

• Gather historical financial information to support annual budgeting.

• Assist with grant budgets, financial tracking, and reporting.

• Identify opportunities to make accounting processes more organized, accurate, and efficient.
