• Configure and run saved searches, reports, and dashboards in NetSuite to support the finance team.

• Support weekly cash position reporting with accurate inputs from AR, AP, and bank reconciliations.
• Document recurring accounting processes, close procedures, and reporting workflows so that institutional knowledge is captured.
