Job Description

So, what will your new role look like?

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract. You're joining a small, tight-knit team at a pivotal moment — fresh ERP implementation, growing AI-driven workflows, and teammates stepping into expanded responsibilities. Your mandate: own the execution of day-to-day accounting operations, primarily across accounts payable and expense cycles, so everyone else has the bandwidth to focus on what's next.

Responsibilities:

• 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.

A typical week? 

Early in the month, it's close sprint mode: journal entries, reconciliations, NetSuite validation — everyone's in sync and moving fast. The rest of the month, you keep the rhythm: vendor invoices, employee expenses in Airbase, payment follow-ups. You stay curious about where a process step could be tightened or automated. No two weeks look exactly the same — there's always a real problem to solve and a teammate to collaborate with.

What does your future team look like?    

Finance @Workleap is a small, tight-knit team that runs on trust, autonomy, and open communication. Everyone wears multiple hats — especially during close. The team is in a transition period where colleagues are stepping into expanded responsibilities, and your reliable execution is what makes that possible. You'll report directly to the Senior Manager, Accounting & Financial Reporting, your escalation point for complex questions. The team works with modern tools — NetSuite, Airbase, Float, Claude — and is genuinely passionate about bringing innovation to everyday accounting.

What are the next challenges awaiting your team? 

• Maintaining high standards of accuracy and reliability across daily accounting operations and monthly closes during a key transition period, as the team absorbs new responsibilities;


• Continuing to optimize and automate accounting cycles in NetSuite, off the back of a recent ERP implementation and growing AI-powered workflows;


• Strengthening audit readiness and internal controls.

Qualifications

• 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.
