• Reconcile supplier statements, investigate payment discrepancies, track outstanding balances, and keep vendor tax documentation current for reporting purposes.

• Assist with monthly inventory accounting for multiple locations by preparing entries, reviewing cost reports, and examining inventory variances.

• Evaluate food, beverage, and operational spending patterns to highlight trends, explain fluctuations, and support decision-making with clear financial insight.

• Contribute to month-end close activities, recurring financial reports, budget support, forecast updates, audit preparation, and special accounting assignments.

• Strengthen accounting workflows by organizing records, partnering with operational stakeholders, and providing backup support across the finance team as needed. Requirements • At least 2 years of accounting experience in a hands-on finance or accounting support role.

• Practical knowledge of accounts payable processes, including invoice entry, payment processing, and vendor account maintenance.

• Experience with account reconciliations and core accounting functions in a fast-paced business environment.

• Ability to manage detailed financial information accurately while meeting recurring deadlines.

• Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to work effectively across departments.
