Assist with accounts payable processes, including supplier invoices, expense tracking, mileage and company credit card reconciliations. Coordinate incoming and outgoing mail, deliveries and administrative documentation related to the seasonal workforce. Maintain organized filing systems and operational records, ensuring information is accurate, current and easily accessible. Keep the vineyard office organized, stocked and operating efficiently while supporting a variety of day-to-day administrative needs.
