- Investigating and resolving discrepancies in vendor statements
- Ensuring expenses are accurately recognized and recorded in the general ledger
- Preparing weekly AP payments and forecasting cash outflows
- Producing ad-hoc reports for management as needed
- Maintaining vendor accounts (e.g. supporting new vendor setup, reviewing payment terms, and updating records)
- Contribute to month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities by preparing journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial reviews for both balance sheet and income statement accounts.
- Support external audits and annual statutory accounts, where required across international territories.
- Assist with the implementation and execution of SOX-compliant procedures to ensure strong internal controls.
