• Maintain and reconcile the general ledger; record and post journal entries (accruals, prepayments, reclasses, fixed assets, etc.) in support of monthly and quarterly close cycles.
• Support month‑end close processes — ensure all entries are posted, balance sheet accounts reconciled, and financial data reviewed for accuracy.
• Maintain and reconcile balance sheet accounts, including fixed assets, prepaid expenses, accruals, and other key ledger accounts.
• Support preparation of internal financial reports and, when needed, external financial statements — help ensure compliance with company policies and generally accepted accounting practices.
• Assist with audit preparation — gather supporting documentation, coordinate with external auditors, and help with audit requests.
• Assist with intercompany transactions — process and reconcile intercompany invoices, transfers, and allocations where applicable.
