- Support internal and external audit requests with clear, well-organized workpapers.
- Ensure accuracy, consistency, and auditability of accounting outputs.
- Work with accounting exports and subledger data in G-Sheets and other cloud-based tools to clean, structure, and analyze information efficiently.
- Use advanced spreadsheet techniques (G-Sheets preferred; Excel experience transferable) to automate reconciliations and recurring close tasks.
- Build and maintain automated reports, templates, and dashboards that support close and operational visibility.
- Leverage AI-assisted tools to identify anomalies and trends, improve data quality, reduce manual, repetitive accounting work.
- Ensure any automation or AI-assisted workflow is documented, transparent, and maintainable by other team members.

- Partner with the Senior Accountant to implement approved changes in a controlled, practical way.
Requirements

- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail; able to identify issues and address them proactively.
- Comfortable working with large or messy data exports in a cloud-based environment.

- Practical, hands-on problem solver with strong judgment and a willingness to continuously improve processes.
- Comfortable learning and adopting new tools, including AI-assisted workflows.
