Monthly Financial Reconciliation & Reporting
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
Each month I reconcile our ledgers, transactional records, and bank statements, and I need a detail-oriented professional to take ownership of this cycle from start to finish. You will:
• Compare all three data sources, flagging amount mismatches, duplicate entries, and data-entry errors.
• Investigate every exception, obtain clarifications or supporting documents from accounting, operations, or client contacts, and post the necessary correcting entries.
• Produce a clear reconciliation report—with commentary, audit trails, and any journal postings—by the agreed deadline.
• Keep concise process notes so anyone can follow the control checks performed.
• Identify quick wins for automation or streamlining (macros, dashboards, or API pulls are welcome) and outline next steps.
Accuracy and timeliness are non-negotiable: the close calendar allows five business days after month-end for completion, leaving buffer for re-checks or questions. Deliverables are considered accepted once the balances in all three sources tie to the cent and the documentation is ready for audit review.
Excel, Google Sheets, or accounting suites such as QuickBooks and Xero are all in play here, so fluency in at least one of those environments is essential; SQL or Power Query skills will make your automation ideas even more valuable.
