• Organize digital and physical filing systems for financial documents, invoices, and admin records to ensure easy retrieval and compliance.
• Handle credit card payments securely, recording transactions promptly and reconciling with bank statements.
• Staff the front desk, greeting visitors, answering multi-line phones, directing inquiries, and providing administrative support.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with accounting, finance, and operations teams to streamline workflows and uphold financial protocols.
• Support general admin duties such as scheduling, correspondence, and office supply management.
