at PVcase

🏢 About PVcase

PVcase is revolutionizing the solar design industry with cutting-edge software that maximizes energy yield and reduces carbon footprints globally. As a fast-growing company with a mission-driven focus on sustainability, you'll contribute to meaningful climate impact while working remotely with a collaborative, international team.

About This Role

As the AP Accountant, you'll own the end-to-end accounts payable process for the group, ensuring accurate and timely payments to vendors and employees. This role is critical for maintaining financial integrity and supporting PVcase's global operations, directly impacting cash flow and vendor relationships.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing and approving vendor bills in NetSuite, followed by reconciling expense reports from employees using Payhawk. Midday, you'll prepare the weekly payment run, coordinate with the treasury team, and resolve any discrepancies with vendors via email or Slack. After lunch, you'll assist with month-end close tasks, ensuring all invoices are posted and accruals are accurate.

🎯 Who PVcase Is Looking For

  • You have 3-5+ years of AP experience in a high-volume environment, with a strong track record of managing vendor bills, expense reports, and payment runs.
  • You are a NetSuite expert or have deep hands-on experience with similar ERPs; familiarity with Payhawk or Navan is a plus.
  • You have a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, and you thrive on detail-oriented work with a focus on accuracy and compliance.
  • You are a proactive communicator who takes ownership of processes and can collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams across different time zones.

📝 Tips for Applying to PVcase

1

Highlight your experience with NetSuite specifically—mention any modules used (AP, procure-to-pay) and complexity of transactions handled.

3

Emphasize any experience with expense management tools (Payhawk, Navan) and how you improved efficiency or accuracy.

4

Tailor your resume to show a clear progression in AP ownership, from data entry to process improvements or month-end close responsibilities.

5

In your cover letter, mention your passion for renewable energy or sustainability to align with PVcase's mission.
