What You’ll Do

This is an essential operational role for a detail-oriented, results-driven professional with a passion for keeping financial engines running at peak performance. You will serve as the financial backbone of day-to-day operations, owning the full accounts receivable cycle, payroll coordination, and month-end close activities, while contributing to audits, budgeting, forecasting, and cross-functional projects.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on ownership and accountability, can operate with high self-sufficiency, and is eager to drive finance transformation
through process improvement and Artificial Intelligence (AI). You will work actively in
NetSuite and play a meaningful role in shaping a modern, efficient finance function. We
require an individual who truly thinks like an owner and consistently delivers exceptional
work.

Key Responsibilities

  • 1. Accounts Receivable & Billing Operations
  • Full A/R & AP Cycle Management: Own end-to-end client invoicing, collections,
    cash application, and aging follow-ups — ensuring timely and accurate revenue
    recognition.
  • Invoice Preparation & Issuance: Prepare and issue invoices across billing
    types (milestone, licensing, recurring, and ad hoc), managing credit memos, re-
    billing, and invoice amendments with precision.
  • Client & Stakeholder Coordination: Serve as the primary finance contact for
    client billing inquiries; collaborate with Project Managers and Sales on billing
    milestones and contract terms.
  • Collections Management: Monitor outstanding balances proactively and
    escalate collection issues to protect cash flow and minimize aging risk.
  •  
  • 2. General Accounting & Close Activities
  •  Journal Entries & Reconciliations: Prepare and post journal entries, accruals,
    and monthly reconciliations; assist with cash flow, month-end, and quarter-end
    close activities
  • Intercompany & Expense Management: Manage intercompany invoicing and
    reconciliations across entities; support expense report review and approval
    workflows in NetSuite.
  • Financial Records: Maintain organized, audit-ready financial records and
    documentation at all times.
  •  
  • 3. Reporting, Compliance & Strategic Support
  • Audit Coordination: Assist in coordinating annual audits by preparing audit
    schedules, supporting documentation, and responding to auditor inquiries in a
    timely manner.
  • Budgeting & Forecasting: Support the annual budgeting process and periodic
    forecast updates; assist with variance analysis against budget and actuals.
  • Financial Analysis & Reporting: Prepare financial analyses and reports as
    requested by the Controller or HOF, translating data into clear, actionable
    insights.
  • Process Optimization & AI Integration: Proactively identify inefficiencies in
    operational and finance processes. Research and propose innovative solutions,
    including the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, to automate
    reporting and drive efficiency across the company.
  • Special Projects: Support cross-functional initiatives including system
    improvements, process automation, and M&A due diligence as needed.

Experience

  • Mid-Level (3–5 years): Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required; CPA designation or equivalent (or actively pursuing) strongly preferred.

  • A/R, AP & Payroll Expertise: Demonstrated, hands-on experience with full-cycle accounts receivable, payroll processing, and general accounting operations.

  • NetSuite Proficiency: Practical experience working in NetSuite, particularly A/R, billing workflows, and reporting, is strongly preferred.

  • Multi-Entity Exposure: Experience in multi-entity and/or multi-currency environments is a valued asset (nice to have but not required).

Hard Skills

  • Accounting Systems: Proficient in NetSuite (or comparable ERP); experience with A/R Analyst or billing workflow modules is a strong asset.

  • Data & Analysis Tools: Strong practical experience with data analysis tools (e.g., Advanced Excel, Power BI) for reconciliations, variance analysis, and financial reporting.

  • AI Acumen: Knowledge of AI tools to improve personal workflow, data analysis, and company processes. Experience building AI agents or workflow automations is a strong optional asset

  • Language Proficiency: Professional level of English (written and verbal) is mandatory. Fluency in Spanish is a valued tiebreaker.

  • Accounting Standards: Solid understanding of GAAP principles, payroll regulations for Canadian employees, and multi-entry reconciliation practices.

Soft Skills

  • Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving: Exceptional ability to break down complex financial issues, analyze data from multiple perspectives, and devise comprehensive solutions with minimal guidance.

  • Executive Communication & Storytelling: Outstanding written and verbal skills to transform complex financial data into a clear, concise, and persuasive strategic narrative for C-level audiences.

  • Ownership & Self-Sufficiency: A strong Owner's Mindset with exceptional Proactiveness and high accountability, enabling autonomous operation, anticipation of needs, and independent delivery of results without continuous oversight.

  • Results & Adaptability: Relentlessly results-oriented with an unwavering focus on achieving objectives, coupled with resilience and adaptability to seek effective ways to overcome challenges.

  • Collaboration & Presence: Ability to integrate smoothly with the team, coupled with the executive presence needed to confidently present analysis, influence stakeholders, and drive consensus in high-stakes settings.
