📋 Description

• Drive the full close cycle to completion within the 5-day target window and continuously work to compress it • Prepare and post the complete slate of recurring journal entries — amortizations, prepaid schedules (insurance, advertising, IT, freight), and accruals (unpaid vendor bills, shipping, transportation fees, payroll, sales returns & allowances) • Own balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany entries, reclasses, and cash/bank entries across accounts (Ramp, Stripe, sales tax, and bank transactions) • Process all payroll-related journal entries • Coordinate cross-functional close inputs (inventory, delayed revenue, loyalty true-ups, intercompany files) and keep the critical path moving • Maintain close documentation, checklists, and the journal-entry support library; ensure SOX-style controls and a clean audit trail • Own AP operations end-to-end: bill processing, payment proposals, aging management, and vendor account reconciliation • Serve as the financial point of contact for vendors — fulfill reporting requests, reconcile statements, and resolve short-pay, allowance, and credit disputes with clean, data-backed analysis • Provide financial documentation for vendor credit-line and partnership discussions in coordination with merchandising/buying teams and leadership • Partner with merchandising/buying teams on vendor policy matters (allowances, restock, returns) • Use AI as a daily tool — and Python where it helps — to eliminate manual accounting work, automating JE preparation, reconciliations, AP workflows, and vendor reporting • Champion an AI-first approach to accounting operations: use LLMs (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) as a daily analysis partner and build solutions ranging from CustomGPTs to automated workflows • Prototype and deploy agent-based automations (e.g., n8n) and build lightweight utilities or micro-apps (e.g., with Claude Code) to scale output and shrink the close • Build and maintain reliable, auditable integrations and queries against NetSuite (ODBC/SuiteAnalytics), bank portals, and other financial systems • Operationalize recurring reconciliations and accruals into always-on checks and alerts that flag exceptions before they hit the close • Ensure the general ledger is accurate, complete, and GAAP-compliant; support external audit and tax requests • Produce reconciled, GL-level actuals and driver detail that feed the FP&A team's forecasting, planning, and executive reporting • Identify and remediate process gaps, control weaknesses, and recurring discrepancies at the root cause.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field • 5+ years in accounting/finance with direct, hands-on ownership of a full month-end close • Strong technical accounting fundamentals: accruals, prepaids, reclasses, intercompany, and balance sheet reconciliations under GAAP • Hands-on AP experience, including direct vendor communication and dispute resolution • Daily working familiarity with AI/LLM tools and a demonstrated track record of applying them to eliminate manual finance work • Strong SQL for data extraction and transformation; advanced Excel • Solid grasp of GAAP and core accounting principles • Hands-on experience with payroll journal entries and payroll platforms (e.g., Paylocity) • Multi-entity / multi-brand accounting experience • Able to walk through an automation you personally built and shipped — what it does, how, and the time it saved • Highly organized, deadline-driven, and comfortable owning a process under a hard monthly clock.
