- Analyze revenue recognition activity, including billed and unbilled amounts, and record entries accurately based on supporting transactions.
- Reconcile balance sheet and income statement accounts, investigate variances, and propose corrective adjustments when needed.
- Contribute to annual budgeting efforts, year-end close tasks, and audit preparation by assembling schedules and responding to documentation requests.

- Effective communication skills and the ability to work independently while partnering with management, auditors, and operational teams.
