• Prepare and maintain intercompany reconciliations, match balances and transactions across entities, investigate discrepancies, coordinate resolution with relevant teams, document support, and promptly solve aged or material items.
• Plan and manage recurring accounting tasks against established deadlines. Identify dependencies and risks early, communicate status proactively, and elevate blockers before deadlines are missed.
• Support month-end ERP processing, including running required reports and coordinating system availability with relevant stakeholders.
• Monitor daily interfaces between the ERP system and Oracle General Ledger and Accounts Receivable; investigate errors, troubleshoot issues, document resolutions, and coordinate with IT or process owners.
• Support accounts payable processing and related activities, researching discrepancies and helping maintain accurate records and timely processing.

• Document accounting procedures and key controls; identify process gaps, recurring errors, and opportunities to streamline work and strengthen controls.
• Develop organized work plans, checklists, and process improvements for recurring responsibilities, in coordination with the manager and relevant stakeholders.

• Experience managing multiple recurring deliverables and deadlines; ability to maintain an organized task tracker or close calendar and communicate risks or needs promptly.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, learn unfamiliar systems and processes quickly, and own assignments from start to finish.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and follow-through skills, with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Ability to identify inefficiencies and develop practical plans to improve or streamline accounting processes while maintaining appropriate controls.
