• Investigate cash variances (overages and shortages), identify causes, and follow up with store managers.
• Track variance trends by store and flag recurring issues to the Controller.
• Record cash over/short and deposit adjustments in NetSuite.

Tax Filings
• Prepare and file sales and use tax returns (CDTFA), business property statements, 1099s, and other required filings.
• Reconcile sales tax collected by location to amounts reported on returns.
