Local, privately owned technology firm is looking to add a Senior Accountant. He/she will own accounts payable, manage cash disbursements and serve as the internal administrator for their Ramp platform. This role also carries primary responsibility for month-end close (accruals, journal entries, and reconciliations) - and works closely with the Controller to keep the close process on schedule and audit-ready.

Role Scope:

• Oversee the full AP cycle in Sage Intacct: invoice intake, coding, three-way match, approval routing, and posting
• Manage the AP aging report and vendor payment prioritization; resolve discrepancies with vendors and internal stakeholders
• Ensure proper GL coding and cost center allocation on all AP transactions

Month-End Close

• Prepare and post recurring and non-recurring journal entries, including accruals, prepaid amortization, and reclasses
• Calculate and record AP-related accruals (goods/services received but not yet invoiced)
• Reconcile AP subledger to the GL and resolve variances prior to close
• Review prepaid asset amortization, right-of-use (ROU) asset/lease liability entries, and debt-related entries (amortization of debt issuance costs, interest accrual) for accuracy and proper GAAP treatment as well as review of sales tax state communications and filings
• Support the Controller with close checklist items, flux analysis, and supporting schedules for AP-related balance sheet accounts
• Assist with audit requests related to AP, cash, and accrual balances

Cash Payments

• Execute and oversee payment runs across payment rails (ACH, wire, check) via Ramp Bill Pay and/or banking platforms (e.g., Bank of America CashPro) in USD, CAD and DOP
• Monitor cash requirements for AP disbursements and communicate short-term funding needs to the Controller/Finance Dept
• Maintain payment approval workflows and dual-control procedures to safeguard against fraud

Ramp Platform Maintenance

• Serve as system administrator for Ramp: user provisioning, card program management, approval workflows, and GL mapping/sync with Sage Intacct
• Troubleshoot sync errors between Ramp and Sage Intacct; maintain data integrity between the two systems
• Recommend and implement process improvements to reduce manual touchpoints in the AP-to-Ramp-to-Intacct workflow

Qualifications & Preferences

• BS/BA in Accounting
• 3+ years of GAAP accounting experience
• SaaS or subscription-based business experience a strong plus
• Demonstrated knowledge of accounting and US GAAP principles, including as applied to accruals, expense recognition, and AP-related balance sheet items
• Substantial hands-on AP responsibility, with comfort owning a process from intake through close
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation workpapers) and a passion for new technologies that promote efficiency
• This is a hybrid role; must have access to a private and secure workspace, free from distractions, for remote work days
• Direct experience with Sage Intacct (AP module, GL, reporting)
• Direct experience with Ramp (Bill Pay and/or card program administration)
