• Prepare budget-to-actual reporting and variance analysis for management review.
• Cross-train in Accounts Payable, including invoice review, coding, approval workflows, vendor reconciliations, and payment processing in NetSuite.
• Research vendor discrepancies and communicate directly with vendors and internal teams to resolve invoice, payment, and account issues in a timely and professional manner.
• Cross-train in Accounts Receivable and provide backup coverage when needed for daily activities such as invoicing, credit memos, payment acceptance and payment posting.
• Support audits, financial reporting, and other accounting projects.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks, reduce manual work, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of our paperless accounting processes.
