- Perform detailed account reconciliations, investigate variances, and resolve outstanding items promptly.
- Maintain fixed asset records, including additions, disposals, depreciation activity, and related reconciliations.
- Complete bank reconciliations and verify cash-related activity against supporting documentation.
- Support the preparation of profit and loss statements, balance sheet reporting, and cash flow analysis.
- Partner with internal stakeholders to improve close efficiency and provide reliable financial information for decision-making.
- 3+ years of accounting experience with strong exposure to general ledger work and month-end close.
- Demonstrated ability to step into a fast-paced close environment and contribute with minimal ramp-up time.
- Experience preparing journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations in a high-volume setting.
- Working knowledge of bank reconciliations and fixed asset accounting.
- Familiarity with financial statement components, including income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting.
- Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage deadlines effectively.
- Proficiency with accounting systems and spreadsheets used for reconciliations and reporting.
