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
