- Bank & Account Reconciliation: Comparing internal financial records against bank statements and credit card reports to identify and resolve discrepancies.

- Financial Statement Preparation: Assisting in drafting balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
- Tax Compliance: Preparing data for local, state, and federal tax filings, including sales tax, payroll tax, and corporate returns.
