• Mentor junior accounting staff by providing guidance on technical accounting issues such as accrual accounting, double entry bookkeeping, and account analysis.
• Assist with special projects related to financial software implementation or upgrades (e.g., QuickBooks) and streamline accounting processes for efficiency.
• Maintain thorough documentation of all financial transactions, journal entries, and audit trails for transparency and audit readiness.
