Accountant – 12-month Contract
ShareGate
• Deliver reliable execution of the accounts payable cycle — invoice intake, approval tracking, recording, and payments — so the team can focus on close leadership and review; • Prepare and post journal entries so the close runs on time, every month, without delays; • Perform account reconciliations (bank, prepaids, accruals, fixed assets) so every close is ready for review on the first pass; • Process and reconcile credit card transactions in Airbase and employee expense reports so expenses are squared away before close and no one is chasing reimbursements; • Maintain accurate, up-to-date financial records in NetSuite so reviews and audit requests never become a last-minute scramble; • Contribute to process improvement and automation initiatives so the team keeps getting more efficient — including hands-on and responsible use of AI tools to work smarter on recurring tasks; • Collaborate daily with the team by flagging issues early, so review work moves forward without bottlenecks.
Job Requirements
- Accounting degree (university or college level) — CPA designation not required;
- 2–3 years of general accounting experience, including active participation in month-end close (GL, AP, reconciliations);
- Hands-on experience with expense and accounts payable cycles (rather than revenue and accounts receivable);
- Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups, advanced formulas) and a cloud-based accounting system — NetSuite experience is a plus;
- Strong attention to detail, rigor, and organizational skills in day-to-day execution;
- Proactive team player who flags issues early and keeps things moving without creating bottlenecks for peers;
- Comfortable using AI tools (Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) as an active part of your daily workflow — not just open to it, but already doing it.
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Professional development opportunities
- Wellness programs
