Job Description :

Serve as the primary day-to-day support to the Director of Finance, M&A, taking ownership of the defined acquisition accounting and finance-integration workstreams currently concentrated at the director level.
Prepare opening balance sheets (OBS), including fair value adjustments and purchase price allocation (PPA), and maintain the supporting workpapers and audit trail.
Support purchase price accounting, including goodwill and intangible asset recognition, net working capital (NWC) true-ups, and post-close purchase accounting entries under US GAAP (ASC 805), including reconciliation to contractual definitions, closing schedules, AR, WIP, deferred revenue, cash, indebtedness, and other acquired liabilities.
Prepare and support IRS Form 8594 asset acquisition allocations in coordination with the tax team, including tie-out to transaction documents and documentation of buyer and seller allocation alignment.
Dive into acquired companies disparate billing, cash, AP, and GL platforms to compile complete, accurate monthly financial results during the transition period, and prepare the net-change, stub- period, conversion, and close entries needed to report that activity in Sage Intacct.
Port acquired-entity financials into Sage Intacct — build and maintain chart-of-accounts and dimension mappings; perform data extraction, cleanup, transformation, upload preparation, validation, and post-conversion reconciliation.
Prepare stub-period financials and assist with close activities for the partial period between acquisition close and full system conversion.
Verify cash reconciliations across multiple legacy bank and payment platforms, resolving discrepancies to root cause.
Manage highly complex intercompany due to / due from (DT/DF) accounts across multiple entities, including reconciliation, settlement, and consolidation/elimination support.
Act as the liaison between acquired-company systems and the finance team until each acquisition is fully migrated to the core tech stack.
Support ERP conversions end to end — data extraction, cleanup, mapping, validation, and reconciliation of converted balances back to source.
Assist with consolidations and intercompany eliminations across a growing multi-entity structure.
Prepare audit-ready memos, schedules, and reconciliations, and support internal and external audit requests related to acquisitions, opening balances, and transitional accounting.
Create and improve SOPs, checklists, templates, controls, and training materials; use automation and AI-enabled tools to reduce manual effort while preserving speed, review, accuracy, and scalability.
Take full ownership of issues — investigate exceptions to root cause, document the conclusion and resolution, and escalate timely when an issue requires judgment, authority, cross-functional intervention, or a change in scope.
