• Contribute to month-end close deliverables by preparing journal entries, supporting schedules, and accruals within scope
• Maintain reconciliation documentation to audit-ready standards and proactively identify areas where controls could be strengthened
• Exercise judgment in interpreting accounting policies and procedures, determining when situations fall within policy parameters versus when escalation to the Controller is warranted
