Cobra,
For month end, my biggest tasks are accruals of invoices that we've received by that have not been approved yet (still need to accurately reflect expenses in the months they occurred), reconciling payroll related ledger accounts and bills (medical, dental, etc), and allocation of production costs as cost of goods sold. I also act as sort of a sweeper for the GL, looking for items that have been misclassified, or accruals that have been missed. I have a better handle on financial statements than our current senior accountant, and my boss, the controller, has told me that on several occasions.
In regards to getting an MBA, my biggest hesitation is the cost. Not just the cash, but the time, as I have several little ones at home. How good would online MBA programs look?
