• Review transactions for accuracy, completeness, consistency and compliance with established procedures.
• Document findings clearly and follow issues through resolution.
• Identify recurring errors and recommend improvements to controls, training, or system configuration.
• Serve as a knowledgeable ERP user for A/R and related accounting processes.
• Troubleshoot transaction, reporting, data-interface, and workflow issues before escalation.

• Improve Excel-based tools used for reconciliations, billing analysis, exception reporting, and operational monitoring.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive accounting activities and reduce manual processing.
• Help maintain appropriate controls over data imports, interfaces, and automated accounting processes.
• Prepare and review A/R aging, customer reconciliations, unapplied cash reports, billing exception reports, and other operational schedules.
• Reconcile operational source data to ERP balances and investigate differences.
• Analyze unusual account movements and unresolved exceptions.
