• Use Net Suite extensively to record transactions, review account activity, and support critical accounting processes with minimal onboarding time.
• Perform detailed account and bank reconciliations, investigate variances, and resolve discrepancies through clear documentation and follow-up.
• Support interim and year-end external audit requests by assembling work papers, organizing schedules, and responding to auditor inquiries.
• Handle payroll-related accounting, including reconciliations and journal entries, across multiple entities and currencies.
• Contribute to accounting for international subsidiaries by supporting multi-entity and multi-currency processes within a global finance environment.
