Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance. - 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with significant hands-on general ledger and close responsibility. - Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and accounting best practices. - Hands-on experience using NetSuite as a general ledger system. - Proficiency with FloQast. - Demonstrated ability to independently prepare reconciliations, journal entries, and close deliverables in a fast-paced environment. Preferred Qualifications - CPA, CMA, or similar professional certification. - Public accounting experience. - Practical experience using AI-enabled tools or agents to enhance accounting, close, or analytical workflows. - Experience supporting a multi-entity and/or global organization. Benefits - Eliquent offers a collaborative and challenging work environment with flexibility to support work–life balance. - Benefits for employees working 30+ hours per week include health, dental, vision, and life insurance. - A 401(k) plan with employer match. - A generous paid time off policy. - Compensation is commensurate with experience.
