About the Opportunity

The Senior Financial Reporting Analyst owns the integrity of SweetRush's financial close and reporting processes. This role serves as the primary liaison between SweetRush's Finance team and parent company NIIT, ensuring accurate, timely, and audit-ready financials at all times.

Your Impact and Responsibilities

1. Financial Close & Audit

• Audit Pressure & Stakeholder Management: Absorb and manage significant pressure from external audits.
• Stakeholder Interaction: Manage senior technical stakeholders who are highly efficient and may send frequent technical questions.
• Communication: Sort, organize, and respond to inquiries with professional and effective communication.
• Gatekeeper: Serve as the primary gatekeeper for financial records, including bank reconciliation approvals and ledger verification.
• Audit Lead: Lead quarterly external audit processes end-to-end as the main point of contact.

2. Management & Process Improvement

• Approver Role: Act as a formal "approver" within financial workflows.
• Process Implementation: Design and implement new financial processes to drive continuous improvement.

3. Financial Reporting & Data Management

• Accounting Focus: Engage deeply in accounting functions, moving beyond general finance into technical "number crunching."
• Data Consolidation: Pull and consolidate data from HubSpot, Celoxis, and QuickBooks to maintain accurate revenue and expense databases.
• Monthly Close: Maintain and calculate revenue and expense provisions.
• Reporting: Prepare company and client-specific reports, including AR/AP aging schedules and monthly business review packages.

What You Bring

Soft Skills & Qualities (Priority)

• Resilience: Ability to handle high-pressure audit environments and demanding stakeholders.
• Prioritization: Expert ability to manage multiple competing priorities and "manage the ambiguity" of complex data environments.
• Problem Solving: A proactive approach to identifying and resolving technical accounting discrepancies.
• Organization: Highly organized in sorting and responding to technical queries.

Required Skills & Experience

• Note: While technical qualifications are important, strong soft skills and the ability to manage the responsibilities above may be considered in lieu of strict adherence to every technical requirement.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in financial reporting or accounting.
• Management Experience: Previous experience in a management or supervisory capacity.
• Technical Savvy: Advanced Excel proficiency (pivot tables, modeling) and comfort with remote tools

Preferred Skills & Experience

• CPA certification or active CPA-track candidacy strongly preferred.
• Prior experience working at a Big 4 accounting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, or KPMG) is a strong plus.
• Able to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and anomalies in financial data, and take initiative to clean, reconstruct, and validate it — comfortable navigating imperfect systems and finding answers where the data doesn't make it easy.
• Experience with intercompany or parent-subsidiary financial reporting.
• Experience with regulatory financial reporting.
• Familiarity with ERP systems beyond QuickBooks (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite).
• Prior experience supporting external audits as the primary preparer or coordinator.
• Experience working within a multinational organization or with a foreign parent company.
