• Assist in the preparation of financial statements and internal reporting packages
• Maintain and improve documentation of accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
• Identify and drive process improvements, particularly within manual or semi-automated workflows
• Support internal and external audits, including preparation of schedules and documentation

Qualifications
