  • Hands‑on experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analyses, supported by strong analytical skills, problem‑solving ability, and high attention to detail

  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results in a fast‑paced environment, working independently with minimal supervision while contributing effectively as a team member
