Domain Expert - ERP(NetSuite)

Pay: $70 – $100/hour
Commitment: Hourly, ~40 h/week
Field: Finance

To qualify you must use NetSuite regularly - weekly or more - as a working part of your accounting or finance job, with 3+ years of professional accounting experience.

NetSuite knowledge we require

Core (required of all candidates)

• Knows how to run a month-end close in NetSuite end to end: accruals, reclasses, the period close checklist, and locking periods, not just post a single journal entry
• Knows how to reconcile a subledger (AP, AR, bank, inventory) to the general ledger and trace a variance back to the transaction that caused it
• Knows how intercompany transactions and eliminations work across subsidiaries in NetSuite OneWorld, including currency revaluation and consolidated reporting
• Knows how to judge cutoff: which period a transaction belongs in, and when a posted entry needs reversing rather than editing
• Knows how to build and read saved searches and reports well enough to verify a number, not just export one

Specialized depth (strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 of the following)

• Revenue recognition under ASC 606 (Advanced Revenue Management, revenue arrangements and schedules)
• Procure-to-pay: purchase orders, vendor bills, three-way match, approval routing
• Order-to-cash: sales orders, invoicing, customer payments, credit memos, collections
• Inventory and costing (standard vs. average cost, landed cost, inventory adjustments)
• Fixed assets and amortization schedules
• Multi-book or multi-currency accounting
• NetSuite administration as a user or admin: roles and permissions, approval workflows, custom fields

What you'll do

• Confirm a posted entry, reconciliation, or close step is actually correct in the ledger, not just that a transaction exists
• Catch entries posted to the wrong period, account, subsidiary, or currency, and changes made to records the task never asked to touch
• Judge completeness: did the work account for every related transaction (the original bill, the credit memo, the intercompany leg), or stop at the first one
• Distinguish "the system allowed it" from "an accountant would sign off on it": flag work that posts cleanly but breaks policy or cutoff
• Verify that a request that should be refused (a closed period, a missing approval, a record that does not exist) is refused rather than forced through

Requirements

• Frequent NetSuite use - weekly or more - for accounting work in your current or recent role
• 3+ years of professional accounting experience, including month-end close
• Can spot a misposted entry, an unreconciled variance, or a cutoff error on sight
• CPA (active or inactive) preferred; otherwise a degree in accounting or finance, or equivalent controller-level experience
• Strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 specialized areas above
• Hands-on experience as a NetSuite user or administrator; SuiteScript development or implementation-only experience does not qualify on its own
• Prior data annotation, labeling, or AI evaluation experience is a plus
