Audits & Internal Controls: Support annual statutory audits, internal compliance, and Sarbanes‑Oxley Act (SOX) testing by maintaining clear documentation and robust internal control environments. Financial Operations & Month‑End: Assist with expense report reviews (Expensify), employee record maintenance in NetSuite, and participate in month‑end/quarter‑end/year‑end closing procedures.
