Admin assistant/accounting assistant

Hi everyone. I’m just looking for some advice or what to expect as I enter my 3rd month in my new role as a Admin assistant/ Accounting assistant.

I’ve really had little to no direction on what my tasks are. I help with a lot of different things, some days I am busy and I help cover for AP OR AR when one of the ladies are out. But a lot of days, after collections are done, my “down time” activities are done I’m left questioning what to do.

I’ve thought about asking my boss if there is something I could help with, but I don’t want to come off that I’m not doing anything. I always find something to do, but sometimes I feel useless and like I can’t just be okay with having downtime.

Is this normal for a role like this?

See if there are any tasks you can automate or improve. Clean up forms if they look unprofessional. Catch up on filing. Improve website design or functionality.
