General Accounting

As a general accountant, I’m responsible for maintaining accurate records of daily transactions. One day, I notice that a recent payment from a client was recorded under the wrong account. Upon reviewing the transaction details, I correct the entry to reflect the appropriate revenue account. This ensures the business’s financial records are accurate, helping the owner track cash flow and prepare for upcoming tax filings.

As a general accountant, I use Microsoft Excel extensively to manage and analyze financial data. I am proficient in creating and managing spreadsheets, using advanced functions like VLOOKUP, SUMIF, and pivot tables to organize and summarize large data sets. I also use Excel to prepare financial reports, perform data analysis, and automate calculations through macros. My Excel skills help ensure accuracy, streamline financial processes, and improve reporting efficiency.

As a general accountant, my attention to detail ensures accuracy in financial reporting. For example, while reconciling the bank statement, I noticed a $500 check not yet cleared. I carefully investigated and identified a date error in the system, then made adjustments to ensure the financial statements were accurate, preventing any misstatements. This attention to detail helps maintain accurate records and supports reliable decision-making.

As a general accountant, I excel in collaborating with cross-functional teams, including finance, operations, and management, to ensure smooth financial processes. I actively participate in team meetings to provide financial insights, assist with budgeting, and address any discrepancies. I work closely with colleagues to reconcile accounts, share updates on financial status, and implement new processes. My ability to communicate effectively and work as a team player ensures that financial tasks are completed accurately and on time, supporting overall business goals and fostering a collaborative work environment.

As a general accountant, I am proficient in using SAP Concur for expense management and travel automation. I use the platform to review, approve, and process employee expense reports, ensuring they align with company policies and budgets. I can efficiently integrate SAP Concur with financial systems to streamline reporting and reconciliation, improving accuracy and efficiency. My expertise in SAP Concur helps maintain accurate records, reduces errors, and ensures timely reimbursement while keeping the company compliant with financial guidelines.
