Support annual financial statement audits and other external audit requests by preparing reconciliations, schedules, and transaction-level supporting documentation.
Assist with annual FAR/AASHTO indirect cost and overhead audit support, including general ledger reconciliations and supporting documentation.
Work collaboratively with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Project Accounting, Treasury, and other team members to resolve accounting issues and maintain accurate financial records.
Identify opportunities to improve recurring accounting processes, documentation, and account reconciliations.
