This includes performing detailed account reconciliations, identifying discrepancies, and conducting variance analysis to highlight trends, anomalies, and potential risks. You will play a key role in automating reconciliation workflows using AI tools, reducing manual intervention, and improving turnaround time.

A significant aspect of the role involves handling intercompany transactions and eliminations.

The role requires a forward-thinking mindset to integrate AI into traditional accounting functions. You will evaluate, implement, and optimize AI-powered reconciliation tools, anomaly detection systems, and financial data models. Your work will focus on improving data quality, automating repetitive tasks, and enabling predictive insights for finance teams.

• 2-8 years of experience in ledger management, reconciliations, or financial controllership
• Strong expertise in account reconciliations and variance analysis
• Hands-on experience with intercompany accounting and eliminations
• Deep understanding of chart of accounts design and governance
• Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and reconciliation tools
• Exposure to AI/ML-based finance tools or automation platforms is highly desirable
• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills

What Success Looks Like

You will act as a bridge between finance and technology, driving smarter, faster, and more reliable financial operations.
