About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Senior Accounting & Systems Consultant to join a growing, technology-focused accounting team in the Madison area. This position is ideal for an accounting professional who enjoys combining traditional accounting expertise with technology, automation, process improvement, and direct client interaction.

• Approximately 15% client-facing systems implementations, cleanups, and process improvement

• Approximately 10% internal collaboration, training, and documentation

What You’ll Do

• Manage month-end close activities, account reconciliations, accruals, and other accrual-basis accounting responsibilities for multiple clients.

• Work extensively within NetSuite to support accounting operations, reporting, dashboards, and financial processes.

• Identify repetitive or inefficient accounting processes and develop scalable solutions through templates, imports, saved searches, workflows, integrations, and automation.

• Improve and standardize the team's use of NetSuite across multiple client environments.

• Lead the systems and technology components of new client implementations, accounting cleanups, and process transitions.

• Partner directly with business owners and client teams to understand challenges, explain financial information, and recommend practical solutions.

• Develop and maintain documentation for accounting systems
