• Spot recurring causes of unallocated cash or reconciliation breaks
• Suggest practical fixes to process and controls
• Help test and roll out automation or system improvements

• Comfortable working to daily and month-end deadlines

• Net Suite experience
• Microsoft Dynamics NAV experience, especially researching legacy transactions
• Background in a high-volume, multi-entity, retail or hospitality environment
• Experience reconciling card or payment-provider settlements (Stripe, Worldpay, Amex)

• Receipts posted within agreed daily SLA
• Cash-allocation accuracy and low rework
• Value and age of unapplied/unidentified cash
• Reconciliations completed to month-end deadline
