# support development of annual budget — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'supporting the development of the annual budget' isn’t about *creating* the budget – it’s providing the solid financial foundation upon which it’s built. Daily, this means gathering and validating historical data: actual revenue & expense figures from the general ledger (think P&L statements), departmental spending reports, forecasts from previous periods, and potentially even industry benchmarks. You'll be heavily involved in preparing schedules detailing these numbers, often broken down by cost center or GL account, ensuring accuracy is paramount. Tools used are primarily your ERP system (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite etc.), Excel for detailed analysis & formatting, and possibly budgeting/forecasting software like Adaptive Insights or Vena Solutions.
