• Build budgets, rolling forecasts, and cash-flow projections; monitor burn and runway for SMB clients

• Manage the books end-to-end: AP/AR, month-end close, journal entries, accruals, and the general ledger
• Reconcile bank, credit card, merchant, and loan accounts; investigate and clear discrepancies
• Run payroll accurately: calculate wages, deductions, and withholdings; coordinate approvals; ensure on-time processing
• Maintain organized, audit-ready files and strong documentation across periods and entities
• Standardize checklists, close calendars, and SOPs; suggest tech automations (rules, workflows, integrations)
