• Execute meticulous bank reconciliations and oversee daily cash balances for accuracy and compliance.
• Collaborate seamlessly with external auditors, tax advisors, and internal teams to facilitate smooth audits and uphold regulatory standards.
• Proactively identify and implement improvements to accounting processes, internal controls, and operational efficiency.

These responsibilities ensure you're not just processing numbers but actively shaping the financial health of a thriving real estate enterprise.
