Close, Controls & Compliance
- Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, rollforwards, accruals, and audit-ready support for assigned accounts.
- Support external audits, sales and use tax compliance, and controls over approvals, segregation of duties, master data, and record retention.
- Support international subsidiary setup, including NetSuite configuration, chart-of-accounts alignment, opening balances, intercompany activity, and coordination with tax, legal, and local finance teams.
- Implement Controller-approved improvements that increase accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, with a minimum three years of progressive accounting experience across AP, AR, reconciliations, and the financial close.
- Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, journal entries, account analysis, audit support, and accounting documentation standards.
- Strong judgment, attention to detail, follow-through, communication, and deadline management in a cross-functional environment.
Required NetSuite OneWorld Experience
The successful candidate must be able to:
- AP/AR: Manage vendor and customer records, purchase orders, bills, invoices, credits, approvals, payment batches, cash application, collections, and aging.
- Close and reporting: Prepare journal entries, accruals, allocations, reconciliations, period controls, saved searches, dashboards, KPIs, and exception reports.
- OneWorld: Support multi-subsidiary, multi-currency, and multi-book accounting; entity setup; exchange rates; intercompany transactions; eliminations; and consolidation.
- Controls and implementation: Support roles, permissions, approval workflows, segregation of duties, audit trails, data migration, opening balances, testing, documentation, and user training.
Preferred experience includes NetSuite bank reconciliation, electronic payments, SuiteApprovals, fixed assets, revenue management, and integrations with Avalara, Vertex, or comparable AP automation, tax, and cash-collection tools. Advanced Excel skills are required.
Measures of Success
- Timely AP/AR processing, clean subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliations, and reliable cash and aging visibility.
