Senior Accountant — NetSuite / Multi-Entity

Senior Accountant with multiple years of hands-on NetSuite experience in a multi-entity environment, joining an established accounting team at an energy industry company. Immediate-start contract, 2–3 months, extension possible. Remote, full-time, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Pacific.


Summary
Senior Accountant — NetSuite, Multi-Entity Contract (2–3 months, extension possible) · Remote · Full-time, US Pacific hours · Immediate start

Bridged Financial Solutions is a fully remote US accounting, tax, and fractional CFO firm. We are staffing a Senior Accountant for a client in the energy industry that runs NetSuite across a multi-entity structure.

The client has an established accounting department of roughly eight onshore staff. This role is additional capacity alongside that team — you will be working within their existing close process, standards, and review structure rather than building or running your own.

This is a hands-on production seat. You will be in NetSuite every day.

Scope
The exact task mix is being finalized as we determine which work moves to this role. It will draw from across the close cycle rather than sitting in one corner of the system, so what matters is that you can be handed any core piece of NetSuite.

You should have working command of, at minimum:

General ledger — journal entries, recurring and memorized entries, accruals, prepaids, allocation schedules
Period close — Period Close Checklist, A/P and A/R sub-period locking versus GL close, post-close corrections
Accounts payable — vendor bills, bill credits, payment runs, vendor records
Accounts receivable — invoicing, customer payments, credit memos, aging and collections
Banking and reconciliation — bank feeds and statement imports, account reconciliation, deposits, undeposited funds
Multi-subsidiary and consolidation — subsidiary hierarchy, intercompany transactions, eliminations, consolidated reporting
Segmentation — subsidiary, class, department, location, and custom segments, and when each should be used
Fixed assets — asset records, depreciation schedules, disposals
Reporting — standard financials, report customization, and saved searches (criteria, results, and formula fields)
System fundamentals — roles and permissions, audit trail and system notes, record hierarchy

Beyond the mechanics, we expect you to reconcile what you touch, document your workpapers so they stand on their own, and raise misclassifications, duplicates, and control gaps when you find them rather than booking around them.

Requirements
Multiple years of hands-on NetSuite experience as a preparer — not a report consumer
Genuine multi-entity experience: multiple subsidiaries, intercompany activity, consolidated reporting
Strong month-end close and balance sheet reconciliation discipline
Advanced Excel at a workpaper-building level — pivots, lookups, clean tie-outs
Comfortable working in the Microsoft 365 environment — Teams, Outlook, SharePoint / OneDrive
Able to work effectively inside an established team: take direction, follow existing conventions, and communicate status without being chased
Written English strong enough to document your own work and escalate an issue clearly
Availability for the full US Pacific business day, Monday through Friday
Reliable home office: stable high-speed internet, a backup connection and power plan, and a private workspace

Nice to have
BS Accountancy; CPA or CPA candidate
Experience in energy, utilities, power generation, or another capital-intensive industry
Project or job costing experience
Prior experience supporting a US-based accounting department

B. Screening questions
Questions
1) What NetSuite role did you hold (Accountant / Controller / Administrator / custom)? Could you post journal entries and close periods yourself?
Separates preparers from people who ran reports out of someone else's instance.
2) In the largest environment you worked in: how many subsidiaries, how many currencies, and was it NetSuite OneWorld?
The single highest-value filter. A meaningful share of applicants describe several separate QuickBooks files as "multi-entity."
3) Can you commit to 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Pacific, Monday through Friday, for the next three months? What other engagements would you be working around?
Moonlighting on top of an existing full-time job is the most common failure mode on contract hires.
4) Which of the following have you personally worked in: AP, AR, bank reconciliation, fixed assets, intercompany/eliminations, saved searches?
Breadth check, since the scope isn't fixed. Gaps aren't automatically disqualifying — clustering in only one or two is.
5) Describe the accounting team you last worked in. How many people, and where did your work go for review?
This role slots into an eight-person department. You want someone used to a review chain, not a sole-charge operator.
6) What is your internet speed, and what is your backup for outages?
7) Expected hourly rate in USD?
