• Handle preparation and filing of sales tax returns across multiple jurisdictions, staying ahead of deadlines.
• Manage business and contractor license renewals, ensuring compliance and operational continuity.
• Maintain impeccable general ledger accuracy while upholding strict GAAP compliance standards.
• Collaborate on internal and external audits, providing documentation and insights as needed.
• Identify and implement improvements to accounting processes and strengthen internal controls.
• Serve as reliable backup to the Payroll Specialist, handling processing and reconciliations.
• Engage in special projects, from system implementations to financial analysis, as assigned by leadership.
