  • PF, ESI, TDS, PT, and MCA filings
  • Coordinate with any vendors on the ground
• Prepare supporting documentation for construction draw applications and other external financial processes

• Experience managing accounts and consolidation for multiple entities simultaneously
• Obsessive attention to detail (both large and small entries)
