About the Opportunity

The Senior Financial Reporting Analyst owns the integrity of SweetRush's financial close and reporting processes. This role serves as the primary liaison between SweetRush's Finance team and parent company NIIT, ensuring accurate, timely, and audit-ready financials at all times.

The ideal candidate brings both technical rigor and a continuous improvement mindset. They will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, interfacing regularly with senior executives, and taking full ownership of the data quality and controls that underpin our financial reporting.

SweetRush is a remote organization, and as such, all resources must be technically savvy, have access to a strong internet signal, be comfortable with virtual/instant messaging and conferencing tools, and generally be available during established working hours.

Your Impact and Responsibilities

1. Financial Close & Audit

• Serve as primary gatekeeper for completeness and integrity of financial records, including approval of bank reconciliations and verification that all revenue and expense ledgers are accurately reflected in QuickBooks.
• Lead quarterly external audit processes end-to-end: gather and organize supporting evidence, coordinate responses to auditor requests, and serve as the main point of contact for all audit-related inquiries.
• Drive continuous process improvements informed by audit findings and data analysis, with a focus on elevating financial quality standards and reducing risk.

2. Financial Reporting & Data Management

• Pull and consolidate data from HubSpot (sales), Celoxis (project management), and QuickBooks (accounting) to maintain accurate revenue and expense databases that support reliable financial analysis and reporting.
• Partner cross-functionally with SweetRush Finance, NIIT Finance, Operations, and Production stakeholders to improve financial workflows and system accuracy.
• Maintain and calculate revenue and expense provisions monthly as part of the month-end close process.
• Prepare and deliver NIIT-specific financial reports, including accounts receivable and payable aging schedules, revenue schedules, and monthly business review packages.
• Collaborate on variance analysis versus prior periods, translating data fluctuations into clear, actionable insights for senior leadership.
• Ensure all data feeding into reports has passed required quality control checks before distribution.

What You Bring - Required Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in financial reporting or accounting roles within a fast-paced corporate environment.
• Able to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and anomalies in financial data, and take initiative to clean, reconstruct, and validate it — comfortable navigating imperfect systems and finding answers where the data doesn't make it easy.
• Advanced Excel proficiency — pivot tables, complex formulas, and data modeling are used daily in this role.
• Solid accounting knowledge, including GL structure, reconciliations, close processes, and internal controls.
• Demonstrated ability to perform variance analysis and translate financial data into meaningful business insights.
• Able to construct and clean up data where there are gaps
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to present financial information clearly to senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Close attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy.
• Self-directed and able to manage multiple priorities independently in a fully remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA certification or active CPA-track candidacy strongly preferred.
• Prior experience working at a Big 4 accounting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, or KPMG) is a strong plus.
• Able to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and anomalies in financial data, and take initiative to clean, reconstruct, and validate it — comfortable navigating imperfect systems and finding answers where the data doesn't make it easy.
• Experience with intercompany or parent-subsidiary financial reporting.
• Experience with regulatory financial reporting.
• Familiarity with ERP systems beyond QuickBooks (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite).
• Prior experience supporting external audits as the primary preparer or coordinator.
• Experience working within a multinational organization or with a foreign parent company.
