 Work directly with clients to collect documentation, clarify records, and establish best practices.
 Prepare and analyze financial statements, reports, and supporting schedules.
 Ensure compliance with GAAP and all regulatory requirements.
 Provide mentorship and guidance to junior accounting staff, when needed.

 Strong knowledge of GAAP and accounting best practices.
