• Prepare audit support materials and respond to documentation requests for assigned accounting areas with clear, traceable workpapers.

• Compile schedules and reports needed by external tax and compliance advisors, including information related to sales tax and other recurring filings.

• Maintain organized digital files and accounting records in line with company procedures, retention standards, and internal controls.

• Partner with cross-functional teams on order-to-cash support and follow up on outstanding accounting items during close, audit, or compliance periods.

Qualifications:

• Experience in staff accounting or a similar accounting role supporting day-to-day financial operations.
• Working knowledge of general ledger activity, journal entries, account reconciliations, and month-end close processes.
• Familiarity with tax-related accounting support, including sales tax documentation and coordination of materials for corporate tax reporting.
• Ability to prepare accurate schedules, maintain audit-ready records, and manage documentation with strong attention to detail.
