• Prepare reconciliations, working papers, and supporting schedules
• Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and consistency across all deliverables
• Support cash flow management and ongoing financial oversight

• Perform independent analysis as part of the month-end close process
• Identify variances, unusual activity, trends, and potential risks
• Summarize insights and key observations clearly and concisely
• Provide analysis and commentary to senior team members to support client-facing discussions
• Act as a primary day-to-day contact for bookkeeping-related matters
• Respond to client questions and requests with professionalism and confidence
• Escalate issues appropriately and collaborate with senior advisors
• Support a high-quality client experience through responsiveness and reliability

• Leverage technology and automation to streamline recurring tasks
• Contribute ideas that improve consistency, scalability, and quality within the CAS practice
