• Oversee and review all inventory-related journal entries, including receipts accruals, adjustments, obsolescence reserves, and shrink, ensuring proper supporting documentation and adherence to accounting standards.
• Oversee accounts payable activities, including invoice coding, approval workflows, payment processing, and vendor management, ensuring accuracy, proper cutoff, and compliance with company policies.
• Lead the month-end close process for inventory, including preparation, review, and analysis of account reconciliations, fluctuation analysis, and roll-forward schedules.
• Collaborate with the Accounts Payable Manager to ensure timely and accurate period-end accruals, including reconciliation of the accounts payable subledger to the general ledger.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., 340B, operations, warehouse management) to ensure all inventory adjustments and transactions are accurately reflected in financial records and comply with accounting policy.
• Occasionally attend and evaluate physical inventory counts and cycle counts, to observe control effectiveness, count accuracy, and adherence to accounting and audit standards, not just operational execution.
• Research and resolve complex inventory discrepancies, documenting root causes, financial impact, and required accounting entries, and recommend process improvements to prevent recurrence.
• Prepare and review inventory roll-forwards and analytical reports to support financial reporting, variance analysis, and management review.
