Execute payroll runs, ensure accurate employee payments, prepare payroll journal entries, and coordinate resolution of payroll-related issues.

Serve as a key point of contact for vendors and external partners, including invoice coordination, payment follow-up, and issue resolution.

Support audit and compliance requirements by preparing reconciliations, responding to audit queries, and maintaining complete, traceable supporting documentation.

Research and validate collections, bank matching items, and other outstanding transactional issues to ensure financial accuracy.

Manage system access setup, troubleshooting, and workflow coordination across tools such as TheoremReach, Relay Financial, and related accounting platforms.
