Description

This professional is in charge of recording all the economic, commercial and financial transactions of a company with the aim of informing the company about the status of its invoicing: if it is good or not. At the same time, he/she creates a legal record of all business operations carried out.

Likewise, he/she also carries out specific tasks such as: the management and analysis of budgets, the preparation of financial reports and the evaluation of the results to advise and issue recommendations that have an impact on the management and financial running of the companies for which he/she works in the short, medium and long term.

This professional works in large or medium-sized enterprises, with a large business volume, which require a person dedicated specifically to these sorts of tasks; by contrast, in small companies, this service is outsourced and this professional often carries out administrative tasks.
