• Identify and resolve accounting and systems issues, discrepancies, and process gaps.
• Serve as a trusted accounting partner to clients and internal stakeholders.
• Recommend and implement process improvements to increase efficiency and accuracy.
• Support audits and ad-hoc tasks as needed.
• Collaborate effectively within a team‑based environment.
