About the Job

Requirements

  • Practical accounting experience owning month-end close procedures, reconciliations, journal entries, and accurate financial reporting.
  • Hands-on experience building AI tools or automations in accounting work, including LLM-assisted workflows, Copilots, and prompt engineering.
  • Advanced proficiency with cloud ERPs such as NetSuite or QuickBooks Online, together with advanced Excel and Google Sheets skills.
  • Ability to connect accounting processes and data across billing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and reconciliations.
  • Evidence of identifying recurring accounting problems and redesigning processes rather than relying on manual workarounds.
  • Ability to explain complex financial information and business implications clearly to executive stakeholders.
  • Professional working proficiency in English.

Responsibilities

  • Own month-end accounting by running close procedures and preparing accurate, audit-ready journal entries; identify process gaps that create avoidable manual work during close.
  • Complete reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, resolve underlying accounting issues, and redesign repetitive reconciliation steps so automation supports accuracy and surfaces exceptions.
  • Prepare accurate financial reports, explain variances in language executive stakeholders can use, and translate complex accounting information into clear business implications.
  • Use generative AI, prompt engineering, and LLM-assisted workflows to automate documentation, variance analysis, and data validation, focusing on recurring close and reporting bottlenecks.
  • Implement and improve integrations across billing, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and reconciliations; use cloud accounting systems and data workflows to reduce manual handling between processes.
  • Evaluate emerging AI tools for accounting and fintech and champion practical, data-compliant adoption across finance; validate outputs using accounting judgment and preserve financial information accuracy.
  • Work with finance colleagues and communicate financial findings to executive stakeholders; use judgment to determine which processes need stronger accounting controls, can be simplified, or can benefit from automation.
  • Build from accounting records, reconciliation data, and reporting outputs using LLMs, Copilots, and prompt engineering alongside cloud ERPs and spreadsheets; build automations and validate their financial outputs.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in a Big Four firm, fintech, SaaS, or a high-growth startup.
  • CPA or an equivalent professional qualification.
  • Familiarity with SQL, Python, or automation platforms such as Zapier or Make.
  • Portuguese as an additional regional language.
