The ideal candidate will apply hands-on accounting experience, ideally including Big 4 or other professional accounting exposure, to strengthen our Order-to-Cash (O2C) cycle end-to-end: customer orders, billing and invoicing, accounts receivable, collections, cash application, deductions and disputes, and revenue recognition.

• Review and reconcile AR sub-ledger activity, customer accounts, aging, unapplied and unidentified cash, credit memos, and write-offs and participate in recon triage calls with cross-functional partners
• Support end-to-end program delivery for O2C initiatives, including billing and collections automation and financial systems improvements
• Partner with Finance, Accounting, Data, Engineering, and IT teams on O2C projects
• Contribute to initiatives in financial data governance, AR reporting automation, and operational scalability
• Support ERP optimization, system integrations, and O2C reporting infrastructure
• Help translate AR and revenue business requirements into technical requirements in collaboration with engineering and systems teams
• Track program roadmaps, timelines, and deliverables, and keep stakeholders current on status and risks

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Management, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• 2+ years of accounts receivable or revenue accounting experience
• 2–5 years of combined experience across accounting operations, program/project coordination, finance transformation, or financial systems implementation
• Working knowledge of financial close, reconciliations, billing, collections, cash application, and financial reporting
• Strong communication and stakeholder skills, with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment
• Exposure to finance automation and accounts receivable process improvement
• Experience maintaining AR records and performing reconciliations in QuickBooks, Intuit, or a similar accounting platform
• Advanced Excel skills (PivotTables, XLOOKUP, Power Query); familiarity with SQL or BI tools (e.g., Power BI) is a plus
• Background in accounting operations, FP&A, or financial analytics
• Progress toward CPA, CFA, or PMP is advantageous
