🏢 About PVcase

PVcase is at the forefront of the renewable energy transition, revolutionizing solar design to maximize yield and reduce carbon footprints globally. As a fast-growing tech company in a mission-driven industry, it offers the chance to work remotely while making a tangible impact on sustainability.

About This Role

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up with your AP and O2C accountants to review priorities and resolve issues. You'll then dive into NetSuite to monitor KPIs, review exception reports, and collaborate with the FP&A team on cash flow forecasts.

  • A hands-on NetSuite expert who can optimize workflows and leverage integrations with Salesforce, Payhawk, and other tools to drive automation.
  • A proven people leader who has managed and developed accounting teams, setting clear expectations and fostering accountability.
  • A process improvement champion with a track record of implementing KPI monitoring, automation, and system enhancements to streamline operations.
