- Review open‑PO and receiving reports and confirm accuracy of identified discrepancies, missing receipts, or delayed approvals for month‑end and quarter‑end close.
- Validate procurement trackers maintained by the analyst, including open POs, RMAs, packing slip issues, and approval status, and ensure that identified issues are properly escalated and documented for audit readiness.
- Review and QA procurement‑related data during Costpoint, Concur and Jira updates to confirm that the analyst’s work aligns with SOX requirements, audit expectations, and financial reporting needs.
Audit & PCAOB Support
- Review and confirm documentation related to revenue schedules, project‑code setup, backlog support, and customer‑acceptance evidence.
- Assist in maintaining audit folders, respond to follow‑ups, and assist with contract‑level tie‑outs.
- Ensure accuracy of data stored in Costpoint and SharePoint for audit retrieval.
Project Code & Operational Data Maintenance
- Review new project‑code requests, validate fields, prepare cleanup lists, and ensure downstream reporting accuracy.
- Support administrative updates for project codes impacting procurement routing, revenue tracking, or reporting workflows.
- Coordinate with PMs, Operations, A/P, Engineering, IT and other departments to resolve missing documentation and confirm system accuracy.
Consultant Coordination
- Prepare materials for accounting, SOX, and system consultants; track open issues and follow‑up items.
- Organize documentation for external reviews and system assessments.
Your skills and qualifications:
Essential education and experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business (or equivalent experience).
Strong attention to detail and comfort verifying documentation. - Basic Excel skills; willingness to learn procurement modules in Costpoint and Concur.
- Interest in operational finance, procurement workflows, and compliance.
- Highly organized and methodical.
- Comfortable investigating mismatches (e.g., invoice versus PO versus packing slip).
- Communicates clearly and follows up reliably.
- Eager to learn how procurement controls support SOX compliance.
