We’re hiring an Accountant, Accounting Operations in Bangalore (hybrid, 3 days/week in office) to support global accounting workflows with a primary focus on AP & T&E operations, and additional support across billing/collections, bank reconciliations, and month-end close. This is a hands-on role focused on accurate execution, clear documentation, and process consistency using tools like NetSuite, Zip, Navan, and Stripe.
It’s a great opportunity to deepen your expertise in accounting operations while working in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment.
What you’ll do
- Execute day-to-day AP operations with high accuracy, including vendor management, invoice processing, coding/review, and timely issue resolution in partnership with approvers.
- Support T&E and employee reimbursements, ensuring policy compliance, complete documentation, and timely processing.
- Execute AR billing and collections workflows, including invoicing, invoice follow-up, and coordinating with internal stakeholders to resolve billing issues and past-due items; support basic customer/billing setup under guidance as needed.
- Perform bank matching and prepare monthly bank reconciliations, investigating reconciling items and maintaining clear supporting documentation.
- Support month-end close for assigned areas, including roll-forward schedules, TB refresh, account reconciliations, and recurring journal entries (e.g., allocations, amortization runs); assist with intercompany-related close support.
- Work collaboratively across teams to drive timely follow-ups and keep processes moving; support process improvements and special projects as needed.
About you
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or Business, with 3–6 years of hands-on experience in accounting operations, including AP/T&E and AR billing/collections workflows.
- Solid understanding of month-end close activities, including account reconciliations, roll-forward schedules, and booking recurring journal entries based on templates or clear instructions.
- Working knowledge of US GAAP, with strong attention to detail and accuracy in applying accounting concepts.
- Advanced Excel and Google Sheets skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and data reconciliation.
- Reliable, process-oriented, and comfortable working within structured SOPs and checklists in a multi-entity environment.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills for coordinating with global teams and resolving issues effectively.
