- Manage the full asset lifecycle from multi-entity allocation through depreciation
- Prepare monthly budget-to-actual variance analyses for department heads
- Act as the primary financial liaison for high-value vendors and construction partners
- Manage complex invoice reconciliation, milestone payment structures, and contract compliance
- Conduct ad hoc analysis on corporate expenditures, historical contractor/vendor pricing trends, and contract compliance to identify cost-saving opportunities
- Review transaction workflows to ensure precise GL account, class, and project/task coding
- Directly manage and correct coding exceptions in NetSuite before data hits the general ledger
- Prepare monthly capital accruals, amortization schedules, journal entries, and balance sheet reconciliations to ensure a timely close cycle
- Support cash flow tracking by assisting with AR aging research, revenue reconciliation, and billing analysis
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a highly quantitative field
- 1–3 years of experience in corporate accounting, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), project accounting, or fixed asset management
- Strong working knowledge of GAAP, fixed asset accounting rules, capital vs. expense rules, and advanced GL structures
- Advanced Excel skills (must be highly proficient with XLOOKUP, Index/Match, nested formulas, dynamic pivot tables, and financial modeling)
- Excellent communication skills with the financial acumen to present data clearly to internal department leads and constructively challenge over-budget expenditures or project overruns
Nice to have:
- NetSuite experience
- Experience with multi-entity corporate accounting and intercompany capital allocations or eliminations
- Prior background in telecom, fiber utilities, construction, or CAPEX-heavy infrastructure industries
Important Details
- Success in this role looks like: fiber deployment builds are tracked accurately, and WIP balances are cleaned up and capitalized on time; month-end close deliverables, capital accruals, and fixed asset reconciliations are completed accurately and on schedule; department leaders and project managers have real-time visibility into their budget utilization through crisp, accurate variance reporting; coding errors are proactively caught and resolved, ensuring clean financial data and seamless audits
