Sample Answer
At a growing SaaS startup I led a project to standardize month-end procedures and coached two junior bookkeepers. We were spending roughly 80 hours per month on reconciliations with a 7% error rate on customer invoices. I mapped the workflow, created standard operating procedures, and introduced a shared checklist and naming convention for bank imports. I ran three hands-on training sessions and paired each junior with me for the first two closes. Within two months we reduced reconciliation time to 46 hours monthly (a 43% time savings) and cut invoice errors to 1.5%. The controller credited the change with freeing me to handle quarterly tax prep and helped us meet every close deadline for six consecutive months.
