# handle financial transactions — Accountant

For an Accountant, 'handling financial transactions' isn’t just *processing* payments – it’s the bedrock of everything they do. Daily tasks revolve around recording all monetary flows: receiving invoices and processing accounts payable (using systems like NetSuite, SAP, or even Excel for smaller businesses), reconciling bank statements to ensure accuracy, managing payroll disbursements, and handling petty cash. It also includes preparing and posting journal entries reflecting these transactions in the general ledger. The ESCO definition’s ‘voucher payments’ translates directly into tracking supporting documentation for every financial movement – receipts, invoices, remittance advices - ensuring audit trails are complete.
