Gather and validate financial data from multiple sources and record transactions accurately to support reliable and timely reporting. Investigate and resolve system exceptions, suspense account activity, and posting discrepancies, identifying root causes and reducing the risk of recurring errors. Analyze general ledger activity and system-generated entries, performing reconciliations and investigating unusual or inconsistent results. Partner with operational teams to research transaction issues, determine appropriate resolutions, and implement adjustments supported by clear analysis and documentation. Prepare financial analysis and respond to ad hoc requests, translating data into practical insights for business partners and stakeholders. Contribute to ongoing process improvement by identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, automate repetitive activities, and enhance reporting tools and templates.
