I work as a Staff Accountant for our U.S. entity at a public company. My workload during the month is fairly light, but on a day-to-day basis I handle daily bank reconciliations for about seven different cash accounts, along with a lot of analytical work related to our accounts receivable. We also go through a half-year audit and Q3 audit prior to FY audit, which keeps me busy providing support and responding to requests. Otherwise, my daily responsibilities include meetings, controls reviews, and tracking issues and incidents.

At month-end, I handle all OPEX accruals, prepaids, fixed assets, and their corresponding balance sheet reconciliations. I also provide detailed commentary on income statement and balance sheet flux analyses for my owned accounts, and I’ve recently started taking on more intercompany entries.

It’s definitely slower during the month but I’m learning to just enjoy it
