Year-End & Audit Support


  • Coordinate year-end working papers and supporting documentation.
  • Assist external auditors and respond to audit requests.

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and other accounting systems.
  • Experience with reconciliations, budgets, forecasting, and variance analysis.
