  • Process employee expense reports.
  • Reconcile general ledger inventory purchases against physical receipts.
  • Apply cash receipts and complete various support tasks including filing and updating internal systems.

  • Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy in data entry.
  • Comfortable working with green screen software and paper-based processes.
