About The Position

Soutron Global builds and supports library, archive, and collections management software for the GLAM market — galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. The group has been assembled by acquisition and comprises Soutron, Auto-Graphics (VERSO, SHAREit), MINISIS, and Biblionix (Apollo, Artemis), operating across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom in three currencies. The finance function is small relative to the group around it, with a Controller, a part-time Staff Accountant, and an Accounting Administrator supporting four operating businesses on legacy systems while a NetSuite implementation replaces them. This role takes the execution of the close, reconciliations, billing, collections, and reporting, supervising and developing the transaction processing staff, and carrying the finance workstreams of the NetSuite migration.

Requirements

• Full ownership of a monthly close in a multi-entity environment, including reviewing other people’s work.
• Hands-on ASC 606 experience in a subscription software or SaaS business, including preparing deferred revenue roll-forwards and working with multi-element contracts.
• NetSuite experience, with migration or implementation exposure preferred.
• Multi-currency and intercompany experience, including preparing translation, remeasurement, and intercompany entries.
• Accounts receivable and collections ownership, with a track record of moving an aging profile.
• Supervisory experience, including managing or closely reviewing at least one person’s work and giving difficult feedback.
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance.
• Five or more years of progressive accounting experience.
• Reconciles rather than chooses; instinct to find the cause of discrepancies and document it.
• Writes things down: procedures, schedules, and commentary.
• Comfortable being the most senior person in the detail; no one to hand a hard reconciliation to.
• Escalates early and plainly.

Nice To Haves

• CPA or CA, or actively pursuing it.
• Experience in a private-equity-backed business.
• Experience bringing an acquired set of books onto a group chart of accounts and close calendar.
• Cross-border US and Canada experience, including indirect tax in both.
• Advanced Excel and comfort with data, including Power Query and reporting tool fluency.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly and quarterly close calendar across all group entities, publishing, running, and landing it on the agreed day.
• Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, prepaids, deferred revenue, intercompany, and foreign exchange entries.
• Own balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring a documented, reviewed reconciliation for every material account, every month, with supporting schedules.
• Prepare the monthly reporting pack for the Controller’s review, including variance commentary.
• Apply ASC 606 revenue recognition policy across various revenue streams including SaaS subscriptions, licenses, support, services, and training.
• Own the deferred revenue and contract asset roll-forwards, reconciled to the contract population.
• Review new and renewing contracts against the revenue checklist and escalate non-compliant items.
• Own billing accuracy across renewals, new business, change orders, and professional services.
• Own the accounts receivable ledger and the collections process, including aging discipline, dunning cycle, escalation paths, and reporting.
• Improve the receivables aging profile against an agreed baseline.
• Own accounts payable, including approval workflow, vendor master integrity, payment runs, and 1099 and T4A reporting.
• Carry the finance-side migration work for NetSuite, including opening balance validation, sub-ledger tie-out, historical comparatives, and parallel-run reconciliation.
• Operate NetSuite day-to-day, including general ledger, AR/AP, revenue module, and multi-currency, and build necessary saved searches, reports, and dashboards.
• Document NetSuite configurations and write desk procedures.
• Supervise the Staff Accountant and the Accounting Administrator, allocating work, reviewing output, setting standards, and developing them.
• Write desk procedures for the whole team.
• Recommend how the team should be structured as the group grows.
• Prepare audit and review schedules, manage the request list, and clear items to a timetable.
