This role plays a key part in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting the monthly close cycle, and ensuring documentation is complete and audit-ready.

Responsibilities:
• Prepare and post monthly journal entries related to accruals, prepaid balances, amortization, fixed assets, depreciation, and account reclassifications while ensuring transactions are recorded in the correct period.
• Review general ledger activity and complete assigned bank and balance sheet reconciliations by investigating variances, clearing reconciling items, and confirming supporting detail is accurate.
• Contribute to the month-end close process by assembling schedules, validating account activity, and helping maintain timely completion of accounting deliverables.
• Organize and maintain clear supporting records for entries, reconciliations, financial reporting, and audit requests to ensure documentation remains complete and ready for review.
• Apply company accounting policies, approval requirements, and internal control standards consistently across assigned work to support accuracy and compliance.
• Assist with annual audit preparation by compiling requested support, preparing schedules, and ensuring account reconciliations are complete and properly documented.
• Oversee employee expense submissions and corporate card activity, verifying compliance with policy and resolving discrepancies when needed.

• Serve as backup support for payroll processing and accounts payable tasks, including entry of vendor transactions into the accounting system as needed.
