• Learn how travel and expense transactions are reviewed and reconciled in NetSuite and other business systems.
• Contribute to month-end close by helping prepare schedules, gather documentation, and support reconciliations and journal entry preparation.
• Assist with data accuracy and system cleanup projects by reviewing records for missing details, duplicates, and coding inconsistencies.
• Support the team with audit, tax, reporting, and compliance-related requests while learning how accounting functions in a professional environment.
• Work closely with accounting team members and cross-functional partners to gather information, solve routine issues, and keep work moving forward.
• Build professional experience by managing assigned tasks, meeting deadlines, and handling confidential financial information with care.

What we're looking for
