ERP Accounting

Reporting directly to the Controller, the ERP Accounting & Implementation Analyst will support Controlling processes, with a primary focus on ensuring the integrity, reconciliation, and accuracy of accounting information within Odoo.

The primary responsibility of this role is to closely monitor information migrated to and recorded in the ERP, identify discrepancies, pending transactions, configuration errors, and accounting inconsistencies, and ensure they are corrected through resolution. The goal is to ensure that Odoo is fully reconciled and up to date with the company’s operations and accounting records.

This is a highly hands-on and analytical role within the Controlling function, requiring the ability to understand ERP functional processes, investigate discrepancies down to their root cause, and follow through until they are fully resolved.

Key Responsibilities

Controlling & Reconciliations

• Perform detailed reconciliations of accounting accounts and Odoo modules.
• Ensure reconciliation between the General Ledger (GL) and subledgers.
• Identify and resolve discrepancies related to Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), inventory, fixed assets, bank accounts, taxes, and other modules.
• Reconcile information between legacy systems, migration files, and Odoo.
• Track open items and pending, duplicate, or incorrectly recorded transactions.
• Prepare discrepancy analyses and reconciliations for review by the Controller.
• Maintain detailed tracking of identified discrepancies, corrective actions, responsible parties, and status.
• Review information migrated to Odoo and ensure its integrity, completeness, and accuracy.
• Identify information that remains to be migrated, uploaded, corrected, or reconciled.
• Validate opening balances and migrated transactions.
• Understand and validate accounting flows generated by different ERP modules.
• Review accounting configurations that may be generating incorrect accounting entries.
• Validate the Chart of Accounts, Journals, Taxes, Analytic Accounts, Cost Centers, Products, Customers, Vendors, and other structures with accounting impact.
• Execute transaction testing to confirm that the ERP generates the expected accounting entries correctly.
• Identify the root cause of discrepancies between operational activity and accounting records.
• Document functional or configuration issues and follow up through resolution.
• Validate that implemented corrections have appropriately resolved the identified discrepancies.
• Create and maintain a comprehensive tracker of outstanding Odoo migration items.
• Classify open items by entity, module, account, period, responsible party, and priority level.
• Directly perform the accounting reconciliations and activities required to close outstanding items.
• Continuously follow up until historical discrepancies are fully resolved.
• Ensure Odoo balances can be supported and reconciled against the corresponding documentation and records.
• Prepare periodic reports for the Controller covering progress, open discrepancies, and identified risks.
• Once the migration is stabilized, maintain the necessary reconciliations and controls to prevent new outstanding items from accumulating.
