• Compile certified balance sheet workpapers, deposit-in-transit schedules, and un-cleared bank item reports for external auditors.
• Drive ongoing efficiency improvements in the month-end cash close process by standardizing accounting workpapers, refining EIB adjustment templates, and reducing cycle times for balance sheet certifications and revenue-to-cash reconciliations.
• Perform monthly reconciliations between Workday cash sub-ledgers and the General Ledger to ensure zero balance variances.
