Accountant (12-month Contract)
About The Position
This is a 12-month fixed-term contract where you will join a small, tight-knit team at a pivotal moment, including a fresh ERP implementation, growing AI-driven workflows, and teammates stepping into expanded responsibilities. Your mandate is to own the execution of day-to-day accounting operations, primarily across accounts payable and expense cycles, to provide bandwidth for other team members to focus on future initiatives. A typical week involves close sprint mode at the beginning of the month, focusing on journal entries, reconciliations, and NetSuite validation, followed by vendor invoices, employee expenses in Airbase, and payment follow-ups for the remainder of the month. The role encourages staying curious about process improvements and automation. The Finance @Workleap team operates on trust, autonomy, and open communication, with everyone wearing multiple hats, especially during close. The team is currently in a transition period with colleagues taking on expanded responsibilities, and your reliable execution is crucial. You will report directly to the Senior Manager, Accounting & Financial Reporting. The team utilizes modern tools such as NetSuite, Airbase, Float, and Claude, and is passionate about innovation in accounting. Future challenges for the team include maintaining high standards of accuracy and reliability during daily operations and monthly closes amidst a key transition period, optimizing and automating accounting cycles in NetSuite post-ERP implementation and with growing AI workflows, and strengthening audit readiness and internal controls.
