How do you handle tight deadlines, especially during month-end and year-end closes?

I thrive under tight deadlines by staying organized and prioritizing tasks effectively. I start by breaking the close process into manageable steps, assigning responsibilities to team members, and setting clear timelines.

For example, during year-end closes at [Company Name], I created a detailed calendar with deadlines for reconciliations, journal entries, and reporting. Clear communication and pre-scheduled check-ins ensured we stayed on track, and we consistently met deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
