How Versatile Can You Be As An Accountant In This Situation? by riloxy(m): 8:14am On Oct 25, 2021
You are the accountant, a one-man team ( that is, you are the only one working in Finance and accounts department), in a projectized company with an annual revenue of N2billion, you are not charged with the responsibility of invoicing to the clients but you have to do other things with regards to receivables, payables ( you could process about a thousand payments monthly using bank online app), costing, bookkeeping, reporting, Taxation (you have a consultant at your disposal for key tax issues) and any other jobs related to the department.
Above all, no ERP or Accounting software available for use.

Can you really cope in this situation and how many of your duties can you realistically discharge.

Firstly, you have to schedule all your daily tasks. If you are good with Microsoft Excel, you can set automation for some reports and creat your dashboard easily for prompt submission of your monthly reports.

Great idea! But it can be easier said than done.

Yes, it is easier said than done, but doing this will prove your competency and professionalism at the same time.
