  • Distribute completed registrations to stores or sales representatives and update expiration dates in the system.
  • Maintain fixed assets in the accounting software’s fixed assets module so records match the rental management system.
  • Match posted deposits to the bank account.
  • Serve as Accounts Payable backup.
  • Process company credit card activity by matching employee receipts to card charges, then import monthly into the accounting system.
  • Provide support to the Controller and CFO as needed.
