# perform balance sheet operations — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'performing balance sheet operations' isn’t just *making* a balance sheet at year-end; it’s a continuous process woven into monthly & quarterly closes. Daily tasks involve reconciling general ledger accounts impacting the balance sheet – think fixed asset additions/disposals (depreciation schedules are key!), tracking accrued liabilities like vacation pay, and ensuring proper valuation of inventory. You'll be constantly analyzing account activity to identify misclassifications or errors that will distort the 'snapshot' of financial position the balance sheet provides. Tools? Primarily your ERP system (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks) alongside Excel for detailed reconciliations & supporting schedules.
