It varies by company but usually the staff do day to day JEs and bank recs, seniors review and help when there’s issues, help determine more complex entries like accruals/prepaids/allocations of P&L entries, monthly/quarterly/ reporting, PBCs for auditors, communications between vendors/staff/managers including different internal departments, preparing budgets

To add to these, they will assist with month end, quarter end and year end activities - preparing financial statements etc. they probably have to do ad how stuff as they come up. Some companies operate unregulated environments so they will probably have to interface with the regulators as need and with supervision
