What are your main responsibilities within your role?
My role is a bit of a marriage between finance and ITS. I do a little bit of reconciliation and approve journals and review things. It's kind of the accounting finance side of things.
Then, on the ITS side, I'm an assistant analyst who manages about five main systems and a few others. My job is to ensure those integrations run successfully every day.
Another aspect of my role is that I'm the report writer for my whole organization. So if anyone needs a report, I'm the designated writer, and I can create basically any report, given the systems we have.
