Key Responsibilities

Google Drive Restructuring

• Match receipts to Visa and transaction reports, and follow up with cardholders on missing receipts.
• Code receipts and prepare them for the bookkeeping team.

• Open and distribute incoming mail, and prepare outgoing mail and courier shipments.

• Handle confidential files and sensitive materials with discretion.

• Clear written and verbal communication.
• Discretion with confidential information.
• Ability to work in the Dartmouth office 3 to 4 days per week.
