Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Business Systems Analyst with strong NetSuite finance implementation experience to join a Technology/Operations organization during a critical ERP transformation.

The successful candidate will work closely with finance leadership, accounting teams, implementation partners, and internal project leadership to design, configure, validate, and support NetSuite financial workflows and related integrations.
What You’ll Do
Finance Requirements & NetSuite Solution Design
• Own the end-to-end translation of finance and accounting business requirements into NetSuite solution designs—from discovery sessions through documented business requirements and configured solutions.
• Design and configure financial workflows including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, multi-subsidiary accounting, intercompany processes, and period-close activities.
• Identify gaps between current processes and standard NetSuite functionality, recommending scalable, audit-ready architecture decisions aligned with GAAP.
NetSuite Configuration & Administration
• Build and maintain advanced NetSuite configurations including custom records, saved searches, financial reports, workflows, roles and permissions, custom segments, and subsidiary structures.
• Develop and troubleshoot SuiteScript (1.0/2.0) automations and SuiteFlow workflows supporting finance process efficiency and control requirements.
• Configure and maintain revenue recognition schedules, multi-currency and multi-book environments, and related finance settings.
Data Reconciliation & Migration
• Lead financial data validation and reconciliation during ERP migration activities.
• Write SQL queries to extract, validate, and reconcile legacy financial data against NetSuite imports.
• Build and maintain data quality checks, audit trails, exception reporting, and reconciliation documentation to support accurate go-live outcomes.
Integration Support
• Support and troubleshoot finance-related integration flows between NetSuite and connected systems using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and/or other iPaaS platforms.
• Identify and resolve data mapping issues, timing discrepancies, and reconciliation breaks across integrated applications.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Partner directly with CFO, Controller, Accounting, and Finance stakeholders to gather requirements, validate solutions, and drive sign-off on business requirements documents.
• Collaborate with implementation partners, solution architects, and internal project leadership to keep finance workstreams on track and ensure solutions are delivered to specification.
What We’re Looking For
Required: NetSuite Finance Expertise
• 3–5+ years of hands-on NetSuite experience in a finance or accounting context, including ownership of finance-related configuration.
• Deep working knowledge of NetSuite General Ledger, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, multi-subsidiary/multi-currency accounting, intercompany transactions, and period-close workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to translate accounting requirements into NetSuite architecture decisions such as chart of accounts design, segment structure, workflow logic, approval routing, and financial reporting.
• Experience working directly with finance stakeholders to gather requirements, challenge assumptions, and deliver configured solutions.
• Track record of contributing to at least one full-cycle NetSuite implementation from discovery through go-live, preferably in a multi-entity environment.
Required: Accounting & Finance Process Knowledge
• Strong understanding of core accounting principles (GAAP), the record-to-report cycle, and how financial processes map to ERP architecture.
• Ability to interpret financial statements, understand reporting implications of configuration decisions, and anticipate audit/compliance considerations.
Required: Technical Skills
• SQL proficiency for data extraction, validation, troubleshooting, and reconciliation; BigQuery experience is a plus.
• Working knowledge of SuiteScript (1.0/2.0) and SuiteFlow sufficient to build basic automations and troubleshoot existing scripts.
• Familiarity with iPaaS integration concepts and data mapping between NetSuite and connected platforms.
• Comfort using AI productivity tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) to accelerate research, prototyping, and documentation.
Required: Detail & Analytical Rigor
• Strong discipline around data accuracy, reconciliation, testing, and documentation of configuration decisions.
• Ability to own ambiguous problems end-to-end: scope the issue, design the solution, implement or coordinate the change, and validate the outcome.
