Job Summary

The role is heavily focused on bank coding and T&E (travel & expense) processing in NetSuite. Prepaids and smaller accruals are part of the scope but take minimal time (2 hours per month). CAPEX and Loan entries are out of scope initially and will be added after new processes go live (target: end of November).

The ideal candidate has 5 years accounting experience with an accounting designation (e.g. ACCA/CPA/CIMA) and strong NetSuite skills.

What Youll Do Primary (majority of time):

Bank Coding (NetSuite): Code high-volume bank transactions using pattern recognition and client chart of accounts. Apply memorized rules where applicable; flag exceptions.
Coordinate with on-shore finance for new/ambiguous coding and allocations not automated by tools.
Maintain audit-ready support and consistent narration.
T&E (Navan) Processing: Review/categorize expenses; validate policy compliance and required receipts.
Follow up on missing coding/receipts/out-of-policy items. Sync/verify proper posting to NetSuite; reconcile corporate card statements as required.
Secondary (light load 2 hrs/month total): Prepare routine entries and rare prepaid vs. opex reclasses; maintain amortization schedules. Smaller Accruals (including audit/tax/donations as applicable) Post memorized/recurring accrual entries in NetSuite with proper documentation.
Work from on-shore setup; complete monthly forms and book accruals as assigned.
Deferred until new process launch (post-go-live) Support capitalization vs. opex assessments and asset management after process automation goes live.
Post consistent memorized entries in NetSuite once included in scope. Complete monthly reconciliations and schedules as assigned.
Maintain clean documentation for reviews/audits. Communicate clearly in Slack/Email Success Metrics (What Great Looks Like) Accuracy: 99% coding accuracy on routine items; zero repeat errors. Turnaround: Same-day coding for daily bank feeds; T&E cycle times per SLA.
Compliance: 100% receipt/policy checks documented for T&E; timely follow-ups.
Month-End: Prepaids/accruals posted within agreed close timeline; reconciliations complete and supported.

Requirements Qualifications:

Education/Designation: Bachelors degree in Accounting/Finance; ACCA/CPA/CIMA (completed or finalist) strongly preferred.
Experience: 5 years of progressive accounting experience including month-end responsibilities.
Systems: NetSuite (highly advantageous/strongly preferred). Experience with Navan (or similar T&E platforms like Concur/Expensify) is an asset.
Technical: Advanced Excel/Google Sheets (lookups pivots reconciliations); strong documentation discipline.
Soft Skills: Exceptional attention to detail ownership mindset structured communication and the ability to follow SOPs while flagging edge cases.
