I would then identify timing differences, fees, reversals, duplicates, or missing postings, document the cause, make or request the appropriate correction, and ensure the reconciliation is fully supported. What controls would you use when managing unapplied customer payments? I would maintain an aging list of unapplied cash, validate remittance details against invoices and customer accounts, and work with Collections to resolve exceptions promptly. I would document allocation decisions and escalate unresolved or unusual items to prevent misstated receivables. How do you ensure accuracy when preparing sales-tax returns? I would reconcile taxable sales and tax payable balances to supporting reports, verify the applicable tax codes and rates, investigate variances from prior periods, and retain clear evidence for review. I would also use a filing checklist to confirm deadlines, approvals, and payment status. Describe how you use Excel to make accounting work more efficient. I use functions such as XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and data validation to compare data sets, identify exceptions, and create repeatable reconciliation templates. Where appropriate, I would use structured files or automation tools to reduce manual entry while preserving review controls. This role works North American Eastern Time hours from Manila. How would you maintain reliable collaboration and delivery? I would plan my schedule around the required EST overlap, keep task statuses and reconciliation evidence organized, and communicate early about blockers or deadlines. I would use clear written updates and calendar discipline to coordinate effectively with the Finance team and other stakeholders. Opportunity details ## About this role. ### Hi there!
