Maintain accurate classification of expenses, cost of goods sold (COGS), and marketing spend.

Support the preparation of monthly P&L statements, cash flow reports, and internal management dashboards.

Track invoices, payments, and reimbursements; ensure timely payments to vendors, contractors, and partners.

Collaborate with operations and marketing teams to align financial data with internal dashboards and performance reporting.

Assist with month-end and year-end close processes and support CPAs or tax preparers with clean, well-documented records.

Identify opportunities to improve processes and automate reporting where possible.
