• Assist in maintaining and reconciling the general ledger across multiple entities
• Assist with weekly, monthly, and ad hoc management reporting
• Contribute to month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accuracy and completeness of financial data
• Assist with financial analysis and reporting to support business decision-making
