Senior Finance Consultant (Contract)

CoreFactor is searching for a Senior Financial Consultant on a contract basis for a client in the GTA.

This role is hybrid and will require the successful incumbent to be in the office four (4) days per week.  

• Dual-system operation: post and reconcile transactions across GL, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and bank in both Zoho and NetSuite during the October parallel run.
  


• Reconciliation: perform the daily reconciliation of bank, AR, AP, and inventory movements between the two systems; log, own, and clear differences rather than carrying them forward.
  


• Reporting: help prepare the weekly reconciliation pack — control totals, ageing, item counts, and tax — driving the trend toward zero unexplained differences.
  


• Data migration support: cleanse and validate customer, vendor, item, and chart-of-accounts data ahead of migration, and support the trial and production data loads and their reconciliation back to Zoho.
  


• Canadian tax: support monthly HST/GST filing across multiple provinces (sales and purchase side), and help validate the NetSuite tax configuration against live filing positions.
  


• Month-end close: help perform the October close in both systems and reconcile line-for-line — balances, AR/AP ageing, inventory valuation, and HST — as the core evidence for the hard-cutover decision.
  


• Intercompany & consolidation: assist with intercompany transactions between the two entities and top-level consolidation.
  


• Go-live support: provide floor support and issue triage during hypercare as the business stabilises on NetSuite as its sole system of record.
  

Requirements

• A professional accounting designation (CPA) or equivalent, or an accounting/finance qualification with strong relevant experience.
  


• Core accounting: solid full-cycle accounting experience — GL, AR, AP, bank reconciliation, and month-end close.
  


• Canadian tax: comfort with Canadian indirect tax, in particular multi-province GST/HST on both the sales and purchase side.
  


• Reconciliation discipline: strong reconciliation skills and the discipline to work accurately across two systems under a tight, fixed deadline.
  


• Systems: confident spreadsheet skills (pivot tables, lookups, large-volume data handling).
  


• Communication: clear written and verbal communication, comfortable logging issues precisely and coordinating with vendors and functional leads.
  
  

Ideal / preferred

• NetSuite: hands-on experience with NetSuite is highly desirable.
  


• ERP transitions: prior experience of an ERP implementation, migration, or a system-parallel run — especially a Zoho-to-NetSuite or comparable transition.
  


• Multi-entity: experience operating across two entities, with intercompany and consolidation.
  


• Industry: experience in a manufacturing or operations-driven business, including inventory and work-order accounting.
