Job description

The Position:

We're looking for a Staff Accountant to support transactional and recurring close work across our entities. This is a hands‑on, high impact role on a small finance team that recently brought its accounting operations in‑house.

We operate in a multi‑entity NetSuite environment with US and Canadian subsidiaries across multiple product lines. An interest in helping build out processes and documentation as we go, alongside a high level of independence to dig in and solve puzzles, are essential to the role.

What You Will Own:

• Accounts Payable. Bill entry, GL coding, and department tagging in Bill.com, along with vendor setup and maintenance, employee expense reports, and corporate card coding.
• Billing & Accounts Receivable. Customer invoicing and renewal billing, cash application, and collections and customer follow‑up on current through 90‑day balances.
• Revenue Close. Post monthly revenue recognition entries out of NetSuite ARM, confirm revenue plans have processed as expected, and own the month‑over‑month revenue variance analysis by entity and revenue type, tracing variances back to source transactions.
• Reconciliations. Assigned bank and balance sheet account reconciliations across our US and Canadian entities, including CAD‑denominated accounts. You'll maintain the underlying prepaid, accrual, and deferred revenue schedules, post the related entries each period, and explain what's driving the variances.

What You Bring:

• 1‑2 years of progressive accounting experience
• Working knowledge of NetSuite, including transaction entry, saved searches, and reporting.
• Demonstrated experience with accruals, prepaids, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
• Bank reconciliation and balance sheet account reconciliation experience, including the ability to research and explain differences.
• Strong Excel skills, pivot tables, lookups, and the judgment to build a schedule someone else can follow.
• Clear written communication and the discipline to document your own work.

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Revenue recognition experience under ASC 606, ideally in a subscription or SaaS environment.
• NetSuite Advanced Revenue Management (ARM) experience.
• Multi‑entity or multi‑currency accounting experience.
• Experience in a fast‑growing startup or SaaS environment.

Practicals:

• You'll report to: Accounting Manager
• Location: Remote (US)
• Start date: As soon as possible
• Status: Full Time/Exempt
• Hiring Timeline: We expect to keep this posting open for 4 weeks.
• Please note: GovPilot is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

Equal Opportunity Employer:

GovPilot is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. It's important to us that our workforce reflects people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences and by providing this data, if you choose to, it will help us to stay accountable.
