* Support client communication by helping follow up on missing information.
* Assist with payroll and related calculations as needed.
* Provide general administrative support to the accounting team.

Qualifications
* Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
* Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
* Basic familiarity with accounting and payroll processes preferred but not required.
