About the role
Bevara focuses on empowering its team members with the tools and support needed to achieve their professional goals. The company fosters a vibrant, interactive team culture that values collaboration and promotes a healthy work-life balance.
Responsibilities
- Manage the company's lease portfolio under ASC 842, including classification, amortization schedules, and related journal entries and disclosures.
- Own POC calculations and revenue recognition for long-term contracts under ASC 606, coordinating with project/operations teams to ensure accurate cost-to-complete estimates.
- Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules as part of a timely, accurate month-end close process.
- Design, document, and implement accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls where none currently exist, replacing ad hoc practices with repeatable ones.
- Perform account analysis and reconciliations across balance sheet and income statement accounts, identifying and resolving discrepancies.
- Research and apply US GAAP to new or complex transactions as the business grows, and draft accounting memos to document conclusions.
- Serve as a key point of contact for external auditors, preparing schedules and support for annual reviews or audits.
- Work with FP&A, operations, and other departments to ensure accounting practices reflect how the business actually operates.
Requirements
- Active CPA license required.
- 3+ years of relevant accounting experience (a mix of public accounting and industry experience is a plus).
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, with hands-on experience in lease accounting (ASC 842) and/or revenue recognition for long-term contracts (ASC 606).
- Experience building or improving accounting processes, not just executing existing ones — comfort working in ambiguity and creating structure from scratch.
- Strong Excel skills; experience with an ERP/accounting system (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, Dynamics) required.
- Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deliverables against close deadlines.
