About The Role:

What You’ll Do:

You’ll own the full month-end close, and build it — over time, not overnight — toward a more automated, AI-assisted state: scoping automation carefully and putting the right guardrails in place so delegation to AI never outpaces the controls around it.

• Own the month-end close calendar, coordinating cutoff across AP, payroll, and operations, and build tracking tools that reduce manual chasing.

• Prepare and post journal entries with full supporting documentation; identify good candidates for templated or AI-assisted drafting, with appropriate review steps.

• Complete key balance sheet reconciliations (bank, prepaid, fixed assets, accrued liabilities, deferred items), moving toward scripted workflows with exception-flagging rather than blind automation.

• Prepare the monthly financial statements package for Controller review, including flux analysis and variance commentary, working toward live, auto-refreshing reporting as data pipelines mature.

• Maintain a clean, audit-ready general ledger, building in automated checks incrementally as you learn where the real risk sits.

• Build and maintain data pipelines that pull from NetSuite, manufacturing systems, and spend-management tools into a single source of truth, via scripts, API connections, and AI-assisted tooling — grounded in a real understanding of how NetSuite is configured and how data flows through it, since that’s what makes the automation actually hold up.

• Design live, HTML/dashboard-style reporting that refreshes on current data, working toward a continuous close.

• Scope what should and shouldn’t be automated or delegated to AI — knowing the difference between a task that’s safe for an agent and one that needs a human in the loop, and building guardrails (data handling, review gates, audit trail) around every AI-assisted workflow.

• Partner with the Controller on NetSuite optimization and the next waves of system integration as the business scales.

• Contribute to a central data repository for product cost models.

• Support tax and audit preparation by organizing financial data and schedules for external parties.

What You’ll Need:

• 3+ years of accounting experience, ideally with manufacturing, hardware, or capital-intensive exposure.

• Real, hands-on comfort with technology beyond Excel — you’ve used scripts, APIs, or AI tools to solve a data or reporting problem.

• Comfortable using AI tools to build and maintain things — even if you’re not a “coder,” you’re unafraid to ask an AI to generate a script, run it, and figure out why it broke.

• Good judgment about automation risk — you can tell a low-stakes task safe to delegate to AI from a high-stakes one needing human review, and default to building guardrails.

• Open to growing your technical skillset over time, including basic Python or SQL, as needs evolve.

• A first-principles mindset — you question assumptions and rebuild processes from the ground up.

• Strong GAAP knowledge, with working knowledge of leases, debt, equity, revenue recognition, and inventory accounting.

• Experience with NetSuite or a similar scaled ERP system.

• High ownership and strong communication — able to explain both accounting logic and technical tradeoffs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

Bonus Points For:

• Direct, hands-on NetSuite experience (beyond general ERP familiarity).

• Experience building automation or dashboards with Python, Google Apps Script, or low-code/no-code tools.

• Direct experience using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) or agentic workflows in finance.

• CPA or CPA-track.

• Big 4 experience.
