• Enter and verify financial transactions, ensuring accuracy and completeness

  
  

• Process accounts payable and receivable transactions

  
  

• Assist with audit preparation and documentation

  
  

• Ensure adherence to relevant accounting regulations, company policies, and industry standards

  
  

• Use AI tools and LLMs (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) to streamline routine accounting tasks, identify anomalies, and improve reporting efficiency

  
  

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders across the RGG portfolio on finance-related queries

  
  

• Support ad hoc projects and tasks as assigned

• Demonstrated ability to adapt to and work with AI tools like Claude for Excel, Artifacts etc. in a professional context

  
  

• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple tasks independently

  
  

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
