• Own and manage day-to-day accounting across multiple global entities, overseeing vendor invoice processing (AP), client billings and collections (AR), and intercompany transaction recording in the ERP, ensuring accuracy and consistency across the team.
• Review and manage bank, payment gateway, and general ledger reconciliations across multi-currency accounts, identifying and resolving settlement variances and escalations.
