• Use NetSuite extensively to record transactions, review account activity, and support critical accounting processes with minimal onboarding time.
• Perform detailed account and bank reconciliations, investigate variances, and resolve discrepancies through clear documentation and follow-up.
• Support interim and year-end external audit requests by assembling workpapers, organizing schedules, and responding to auditor inquiries.
• Handle payroll-related accounting, including reconciliations and journal entries, across multiple entities and currencies.
• Contribute to accounting for international subsidiaries by supporting multi-entity and multi-currency processes within a global finance environment.
• Prepare and analyze large data sets in Excel and Google Sheets to identify trends, explain fluctuations, and strengthen reporting accuracy.

Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of accounting experience, including substantial ownership of month-end close activities.
• Strong hands-on experience with NetSuite in an operational accounting environment.
• Solid background in general ledger accounting, journal entry preparation, and account reconciliation.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, variance analysis, reconciliations, and large-volume data handling.
• Experience supporting external audits through workpaper preparation and auditor coordination.
• Familiarity with multi-entity and multi-currency accounting structures, including international operations.
