Job Description
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Accountant- AR Process Improvement with strong audit and forensic accounting experience to support a high volume, complex revenue environment within a CPG organization. This role will focus on deep dive analysis of revenue deductions, accruals, and account reconciliations, helping identify why transactions are not posting correctly and how processes can be improved.
The AR function is supported by an offshore BPO partner, and this role will play a key part in reviewing processed transactions, identifying errors, and reducing the time senior finance leaders spend diagnosing issues.

• Analyze ERP (JDE) postings, including category/custom codes, to ensure transactions are hitting the correct GL accounts
