Position Overview:
PharmaForceIQ is seeking a Senior Accountant, Business Operations to optimize our financial infrastructure and serve as a key operational partner. We are seeking a forward-thinking professional to transform our core systems-leveraging modern platforms such as Rillet ERP, Ramp, and Tabs-to drive automation, streamline workflows, and elevate commercial decision-making. Beyond core accounting responsibilities, this individual will play a pivotal role in delivering strategic insights that advance our business objectives.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategy and automation
- Identify opportunities to automate transactional accounting work and recommend in-app agents, tools, workflows, or configurations to capture them
- Apply AI tools to improve accuracy, speed, and insight across the finance function, from close activities to variance analysis to reporting
- Evaluate the current finance stack and recommend improvements
- Propose process redesigns that reduce manual effort, close time, and error rates, with a view toward scaling the function without adding headcount
- Benchmark our processes against industry best practice and bring forward ideas the Controller and leadership can act on
- Partner with the Controller on roadmap decisions for Rillet, Ramp, Tabs, and future finance systems
Business operations partnership
- Partner with the delivery team on third-party spend: category tracking, vendor accruals, and spend governance inside Ramp
- Support Ramp operations: approval workflow maintenance, category and CoA mapping, card issuance, policy enforcement, and spend reporting back to budget owners
- Prepare monthly budget-vs-actual packages for department leads: pull actuals, map to budget, build variance detail with drivers and commentary, and distribute for review
- Maintain operational finance reporting that ties financial actuals to business metrics (project-level spend, department budgets, vendor concentration)
- Support order-to-cash with commercial ops: pricing and contract review, revenue setup in Tabs, customer onboarding, and billing accuracy
- Partner with ops on vendor onboarding, SOW tracking, and contract-to-invoice workflows
Systems and process ownership
- Serve as a functional owner on Rillet (ERP), Ramp (spend), and Tabs (billing/AR): configuration input, process design, testing, and documentation
- Build and document repeatable processes, controls, and close checklists
- Own the integration touchpoints across the finance stack and flag gaps or breakage
Core accounting
- Own AR and AP end-to-end: billing, collections, cash application, vendor management, payment runs, and 1099 reporting
- Perform monthly close activities for assigned areas: journal entries, accruals, prepaid and deferred revenue schedules, and balance sheet reconciliations
- Prepare flux analysis and close commentary for the Controller
- Apply GAAP in areas including revenue recognition (ASC 606), software capitalization, and accrual accounting
- Prepare audit schedules and respond to external audit requests
Qualifications:
• 5 to 7+ years of progressive accounting experience; public accounting a plus
• CPA strongly preferred (active, or sitting)
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools (in-app agents, LLMs, workflow automation) to improve accounting or finance processes
• Strong technical GAAP knowledge: revenue recognition, accruals, deferrals, prepaids, and reconciliations
• Hands-on experience owning a monthly close in a cloud ERP; Rillet, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct experience strongly preferred
• Experience with modern spend and billing platforms (Ramp, Tabs, Bill.com, or similar) and comfort owning configuration, not just transactions
• Track record of identifying and implementing process improvements and automation
• Comfort partnering with non-finance teams (delivery, ops, commercial) and translating business questions into financial answers
• Advanced Excel; comfort with large data sets, pivots, and model clean-up
• Systems-forward and curious: brings ideas rather than waiting for direction
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required
• Pharma, SaaS, or PE-backed company experience a plus
