# accounting department processes — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'accounting department processes' isn’t just *knowing* debits and credits – it’s navigating the entire flow of financial data within your organization. Daily, this means you're deeply involved in everything from processing invoices (AP/AR), reconciling bank statements, performing month-end close procedures (journal entries, accruals, prepaids), to preparing supporting schedules for audits. You’ll be using tools like ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks) and potentially specialized software for expense reporting or fixed asset management. It's about understanding *how* your work impacts the bigger financial picture – not just completing a task in isolation.
