• Partner closely with AP, Payroll, Tax, Procurement, and other cross-functional stakeholders to resolve discrepancies, improve accounting workflows, strengthen operational processes, and support scalable financial reporting practices
• Support global accounting operations by reconciling international VAT/GST accounts, assisting with corporate tax accruals and sales tax reconciliations, and managing intercompany cost allocations, billing, and settlement activities across multiple entities and currencies

• You enjoy operating in a fast-paced environment where you can balance attention to detail with strong business judgment
• You’re energized by process improvement, automation, and finding smarter ways to work using AI-assisted tools and workflows
• You proactively identify issues, communicate risks early, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive resolution
• You’re comfortable managing multiple priorities during close while maintaining a high degree of accuracy and accountability
• You bring experience working with modern accounting and finance tools such as Ramp, Navan, ZIP, Avalara, or similar platforms

• 3–5 years of progressive GL accounting experience, ideally within a technology company and/or public accounting environment
• Strong working knowledge of NetSuite in a multi-entity and multi-currency environment
• Experience owning balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close responsibilities with minimal supervision
• Foundational knowledge of accrual accounting principles and exposure to areas such as fixed assets, prepaid expenses, and indirect tax reconciliations
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively across teams
