-Utilize advanced Excel functions (e.g., Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, data matching, error checking) to analyze large volumes of data.
-Prepare internal reports highlighting discrepancies, trends, and actionable insights.
-Support month-end close processes, including reconciliations and reporting preparation.

Administrative & Cross-Functional Support
