Job Overview
We are seeking a Financial Systems QA Analyst to support a NetSuite ERP and Salesforce implementation. The ideal candidate will test the system from a financial perspective, focusing on revenue recognition, billing, month-end close, financial reporting, and SOX controls.
The candidate will also support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with Finance and help ensure a successful first month-end close following go-live.
This is a contract opportunity with the potential for permanent employment.
The primary objective is to confirm that the new system produces accurate financial outcomes and that its SOX controls function effectively, allowing the program to address material weaknesses at go-live.
Key Responsibilities
- Write end-to-end test scenarios with a finance focus across order-to-cash, record-to-report, procure-to-pay, design-to-build, and item and inventory processes.
- Cover complex scenarios, including subscription billing, revenue recognition schedules, rentals, multi-subsidiary and intercompany transactions, foreign exchange (FX), and period close.
- Validate general ledger (GL) impact, subledger-to-GL reconciliation, revenue recognition outputs, and financial reports against expected results.
- Test SOX key controls and IT general controls (ITGCs) built into the system, including approvals, segregation of duties, role permissions, and audit trails, and assemble evidence for external auditors.
- Support UAT led by workstream business analysts by preparing scripts and test data, assisting Finance and other business testers during scheduled testing windows, triaging defects, and compiling sign-off evidence.
- Partner with the data conversion team during mock cutovers to confirm that converted balances and open transactions reconcile accurately.
- Support the first month-end close in NetSuite during the hypercare period.
- Collaborate with the automation QA analyst to transform financial testing scenarios into repeatable automated tests.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in financial systems QA or business systems analysis with substantial system testing responsibilities.
- Hands-on NetSuite experience, including participation in at least one full ERP implementation through UAT and go-live.
- Experience testing SOX controls or supporting ITGC/SOX audits.
- Excellent written documentation skills, with the ability to create clear, comprehensive test scripts that business users can execute independently.
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong accounting knowledge, including US GAAP, ASC 606 revenue recognition, subscription billing, and month-end close.
- Experience with NetSuite Advanced Revenue Management (ARM), SuiteBilling, or OneWorld (multi-subsidiary).
- Experience with Salesforce-to-NetSuite quote-to-cash workflows.
- Knowledge of lease or rental accounting (ASC 842) and hardware-plus-subscription business models.
- Familiarity with AI tools to accelerate test design and reconciliation activities.
What Success Looks Like by Go-Live
- UAT completed within scheduled testing windows, with documented business sign-off.
- SOX key controls and ITGCs successfully tested, with supporting evidence meeting external auditor requirements.
- Converted financial data reconciled and formally approved by data owners.
- Successful completion of the first month-end close in NetSuite during hypercare.
