- Review financial transactions such as cash receipts, disbursements, and funding drawdowns to ensure timely processing and accurate documentation.
- Manage cash and investment-related activity by tracking balances, recording transactions, evaluating variances, and coordinating with financial institutions when needed.
- Analyze financial results and project activity to identify trends, discrepancies, and issues requiring correction or management attention.
- Support internal and external audits by organizing required documentation, assisting with audit preparation, and responding to financial inquiries.
- Contribute to budget planning by performing financial and statistical analysis that supports forecasting and resource allocation decisions.
- Reconcile routine and non-routine tax documentation, including forms related to vendor reporting and taxpayer information verification.
