- Capitalize expenses or investment orders, ensuring data accuracy and alignment with financial reporting requirements.
- Print and mail physical asset tags to U.S. plants, ensuring timely delivery and proper documentation.
3. Process Optimization and Reporting:
- Identify opportunities for streamlining project and asset creation processes, reducing processing time by 70% , and increasing efficiency.
- Document workflows and provide recommendations for process improvements to minimize bottlenecks.
- Generate progress reports and updates on backlog reduction efforts to keep stakeholders informed.
Required Qualifications:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Basic knowledge of enterprise systems (PeopleSoft, SAP) is a plus, but on-the-job training will be provided.

Impact of the Internship:
This internship plays a crucial role in supporting the team’s ability to meet deadlines, reduce backlog, and improve operational efficiency. The intern’s contributions will enhance the department's ability to focus on high-value activities, such as financial reconciliations and closing processes, while ensuring timely creation and management of projects and assets.
