"Being able to self-review my work and catch mistakes is something I take very seriously. An accountant spends a lot of time in the details, so it is sometimes difficult to catch errors. Given this, I implement checklists that require me to tie out balances, subtotal transactions and double check certain items before I move forward in the close process. In a way, I am auditing my work to catch any mistakes or errors. This not only saves me time in the long run, but also saves my manager time, as there is less back and forth resolving issues."
