    Job Description

    The Cash Reconciliation Accountant is responsible for managing month-end cash accounting and reconciliation activities across Cadency and Workday, including journal entries, account certifications, cash clearing reconciliations, and Revenue-to-Cash reconciliations. This person will prepare accruals, validate balances, and ensure cash sub-ledgers and General Ledger accounts are fully aligned across five retail fascias. The accountant will maintain SOX-compliant, audit-ready documentation while partnering with reconciliation teams to resolve variances and improve close processes.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Prepare and post manual Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) journal entries in Workday to resolve unreconciled items and timing variances surfaced during Cadency cash matching.  

    • Execute Cadency’s monthly Account Certification process, validating and certifying all cash-related balance sheet accounts across all 5 fascias.  

    • Lead the monthly close workflow in Cadency, completing cash clearing account reconciliations (1020/1030/1040) within established Workday close schedules (WD Day 2 / Day 10).  

    • Perform monthly Revenue-to-Cash reconciliations to ensure revenue recorded in Workday GL fully aligns with settled cash receipts in Cadency.  

    • Leverage insights from Cash Reconciliation Analysts regarding recurring variance patterns to refine month-end accrual models and journal entry workflows.  

    • Calculate, validate, and record month-end accrual journal entries in Workday for Returns Reserves, E-commerce In-Transit, and Tender Fees.  

    • Ensure complete alignment between Cadency bank/book proof balances and Workday General Ledger balance sheet line items.  

    • Maintain audit-ready documentation and execute period-end revenue cutoff procedures to comply with internal control standards and SOX.  

    • Verify data completeness and accuracy as balances move from Cadency reconciliation outputs into Workday General Ledger financial statements.  

    • Compile certified balance sheet workpapers, deposit-in-transit schedules, and un-cleared bank item reports for external auditors.  

    • Drive ongoing efficiency improvements in the month-end cash close process by standardizing accounting workpapers, refining EIB adjustment templates, and reducing cycle times for balance sheet certifications and revenue-to-cash reconciliations.  

    • Perform monthly reconciliations between Workday cash sub-ledgers and the General Ledger to ensure zero balance variances. 

    Required Education and/or Experience

    Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance. 2-4 years of relevant work experience functions, with experience managing high-volume transaction matching and month-end close processes. Proven experience monitoring and maintaining accounting or reconciliation teams, with the ability to collaborate effectively across Finance, Treasury, IT, and external partners in a complex, fast-paced environment.

    Required Computer and Technical Skills

    Proficiency in all Microsoft Office equivalent programs along with experience with ERP and reconciliation systems, preferably Workday and Cadency, as well as bank and third-party payment processor integrations.
