Accounting Manager - Month-End Close & Operations - AI/LLM Expertise

Month-End Close:

• Drive the full close cycle to completion within the 5-day target window and continuously work to compress it.
• Prepare and post the complete slate of recurring journal entries — amortizations, prepaid schedules, and accruals.
• Own balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany entries, reclasses, and cash/bank entries across accounts.

Accounts Payable & Vendor Financial Relationships:

• Own AP operations end-to-end: bill processing, payment proposals, aging management, and vendor account reconciliation.
• Serve as the financial point of contact for vendors — fulfill reporting requests, reconcile statements, and resolve disputes.
• Partner with merchandising/buying teams on vendor policy matters such as allowances, restock, and returns.

AI & Automation:

• Use AI as a daily tool and Python where it helps to eliminate manual accounting work.
• Champion an AI-first approach: use LLMs as a daily analysis partner and build solutions from CustomGPTs to automated workflows.
• Prototype and deploy agent-based automations and build lightweight utilities to scale output and shrink the close.
