# financial department processes — Accountant

For an Accountant, 'Financial Department Processes' isn’t just *knowing* accounting principles – it’s knowing *how things get done* within your specific organization. Daily work revolves around participating in (and often driving) core processes like month-end close: reconciling accounts, preparing journal entries, analyzing variances, and ensuring data flows correctly between sub-ledgers and the general ledger. You'll be heavily involved in invoice processing (AP/AR), expense reporting, fixed asset accounting, and potentially budgeting/forecasting support. Tools are typically ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Xero) alongside Excel for analysis & reconciliation; understanding *how* your company configures and uses these is key.
