Product & Pricing Launches: Work closely with team leads to introduce and implement new accounting procedures for upcoming product launches, pricing updates, or sales incentive programs. Process Automation: Engage in ongoing system and process enhancements, including system testing, building automation workflows, and providing feedback on scalability efforts. 4. Audit & Internal Controls Compliance: Support internal controls ensuring all supporting documentation is complete and audit-ready.
