Responsibilities:

• Lead thorough reviews of balance sheet accounts to confirm accuracy, completeness, and audit readiness.

• Examine intercompany balances among multiple entities, identify inconsistencies, and drive issues through resolution.
• Investigate aged or unusual reconciling items and determine the appropriate accounting treatment to clear them.
• Assess key accounts such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, leases, and accrued liabilities to support clean financial reporting.
• Prepare supporting schedules, reconciliations, and documentation required for external audit requests.
• Identify accounting gaps or control concerns that could affect the audit process and recommend practical corrective actions.
• Support month-end close activities by posting journal entries and maintaining accurate general ledger records where needed.
