- Systems Mastery: Advanced experience with cloud-based ERPs (QBO, NetSuite, Intacct, or SAP) and automation tools (Ramp, Chargebee, AI native tools).
- Global Coordination: Experience working for an Indian subsidiary of a US-headquartered company, with a strong grasp of US GAAP and IFRS.
- Preferred Experience
- HealthTech/SaaS Vertical: Deep understanding of recurring revenue accounting (ASC 606) and the specific cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) structures in health technology.
