  • Establish internal consistency between bookkeeping and tax reporting to minimize rework.

    • Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Partner with leadership, operations, and marketing to tie cost data to decision-making.
  • Participate in cross-functional reviews : e.g., evaluating conference ROI, campaign effectiveness, and staffing costs.
  • Support leadership with budget planning, forecasts, and scenario modeling.
  • Document processes and train backup staff for continuity.
