• Assist Finance with month-end closing, including booking journal entries required for AR adjustments, write-offs (with proper approval), and bank reconciliations.
• Maintain customer master data in the ERP — billing addresses, payment terms, tax exemption status — in coordination with the Senior Accounting Manager.
