Processing weekly payroll and maintaining payroll records

Managing accounts receivable, collections, customer payments, and aging reports

Processing accounts payable and maintaining vendor records





Supporting inventory accounting, reconciliations, and transaction accuracy

Preparing journal entries and account reconciliations

Assisting with month‑end and year‑end close activities

Supporting audits and responding to audit requests

Participating in process improvement initiatives to increase efficiency and accuracy
