• Audit fuel card invoices against contractor settlements.
• Identify discrepancies and research missing or inaccurate information before approving settlements.
• Provide coverage for company payroll processing, including timecard processing, when needed.
• Support payroll processing during peak settlement days, primarily Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Requirements

• Strong critical thinking skills with the ability to recognize discrepancies and resolve issues.
• Strong math skills or an accounting background.
• Organized, detail-oriented, accurate, and reliable.
• Comfortable performing repetitive work while maintaining accuracy.
• Experience is not required but would be beneficial.
