Cash Management

  • Prepare short‑term cash flow forecasts.
  • Manage accounts receivable billing, collections, and credit processes to minimize risk and ensure compliance with company policies.
  • Monitor banking activity and ensure bank and credit card reconciliations are completed in accordance with internal control requirements.

Analysis & Business Support

  • Coordinate and support budgeting, forecasting, and variance reporting.
  • Conduct regular reviews of cash position, budget performance, and month‑end financial results.
  • Identify, assess, and escalate financial risks, control weaknesses, or compliance issues in a timely manner.
  • Provide guidance and support to managers and cross‑functional departments as needed.
