  • Manage Accounts Receivable: Oversee customer invoicing, payment processing, account follow-up, and communication to support timely collections.
  • Take Ownership of Expense Management: Oversee company credit card activity, coordinate receipt collection, review transactions, and ensure expenses are properly coded and documented.
  • Keep Financial Records on Track: Perform account reconciliations, review financial reports, research discrepancies, and help maintain accurate books across multiple entities.
  • Support Cash Management: Coordinate weekly check deposits and assist with monitoring and recording incoming funds.
  • Contribute to a Growing Accounting Team: Identify opportunities to improve processes, support special projects, and provide general accounting and administrative support as the business continues to grow.
