Summary of the role:

About the role:
- Own and support monthly, quarterly, and year‑end close activities for retail and general ledger areas (accruals, reclasses, and analysis).
- Prepare and review journal entries, ensuring appropriate support, approvals, and compliance with accounting policies.
- Perform and review balance sheet reconciliations (retail and corporate accounts), ensuring reconciling items are investigated and cleared in line with SOX/internal control requirements.
- Perform checks on retail cash variances (POS, deposits, bank matching) and support bank reconciliations, investigating discrepancies and driving timely resolution.
- Analyze P&L and balance sheet fluctuations, prepare variance commentary, and partner with stakeholders to explain results.
- Investigate and resolve reconciling items and close variances (including clearing accounts as applicable) in partnership with upstream and downstream teams.
- Collaborate with Retail Operations, Finance, Shared Services, and global teams to resolve issues, align on timelines, and improve end‑to‑end processes.
- Support internal/external audits and SOX testing by providing documentation, walkthrough support, and timely responses to requests.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement, standardization, and automation (templates, reporting, system enhancements) to improve close accuracy and cycle time.
About you:
- CA / CMA / MBA (Finance)/ CP / CPA with 7+ years’ experience in RTR
- Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals, month‑end close, and RTR processes; exposure to retail cash/POS flows is a plus.
- Experience with SAP / S/4HANA (or similar large ERP) and a strong working knowledge of GL, subledger integrations, and reporting
- Advanced Excel skills; experience with Power BI (or similar tools) to build/maintain close and reconciliation reporting
