A Snapshot of Your Day

You start your day with checking the account balances of all the entities in the world and verifying if there are any postings which require your attention or your approval.

After lunch, you start interacting with the Heads of Accounting of the various factories and assess, if any support is needed in terms of ensuring correct books & records.

The rest of the afternoon, you might spend with concepts around automating accounting processes (e.g. automated invoice verification), in calls with the financial auditors and your team to discuss new reporting requirements for the upcoming financial statements, or with the shareholder giving updates on the current situation and challenges of the business.
