Assist with accounts payable, fixed assets, treasury, and other transaction-processing activities while following authorization and documentation requirements.

Prepare recurring budget-to-actual, forecast, cash-flow, and variance reports using Excel and source-system data.

Track open financial-model assumptions and data requests, follow up with designated owners, and maintain organized status logs.

Maintain audit-ready reconciliations, schedules, control evidence, and electronic files with clear naming and version control.
