About the Role

The RnC team is the operational engine and heart of Sinch’s global revenue and cogs accounting, ensuring financial accuracy and operational integrity across high-volume revenue and cogs streams worldwide.

We are seeking an ambitious, analytical, and hands-on Accountant II to join our Bangalore hub. As an independent operator and dependable team player , you will run routine month-end close, accruals, standard reconciliations, and ERP uploads with minimal day-to-day oversight, feeding clean variance packages to the Sr. Revenue Controller.

This role balances two key pillars: executing core operational accounting during the month-end close and driving continuous process simplification and automation between close s to eliminate manual bottlenecks ("time thieves").

Plenty of Room to Grow : While this is a mid-level operational role, it offers a strong platform with significant upward mobility. As you automate routine workflows and master our business models, you will have the opportunity to take on more complex revenue streams, lead cross-functional improvements, and grow within our global finance organization.

Key Responsibilities

Month-End Close (MEC) & Variance Analysis (~40%)

Revenue Accruals & Journal Entries : Calculate, review, and post accurate revenue accruals and month-end journal entries for the Messaging business line within agreed close timelines.
Balance Sheet & Account Reconciliations : Own end-to-end balance sheet and account reconciliations, proactively investigating reconciling items, clearing open balances, and ensuring ledger integrity.
Threshold-Based Variance Analysis : Perform first-line Month-over-Month (MoM) and trend variance analysis on Revenue & COGS accounts, identifying root drivers for fluctuations exceeding established thresholds.
RnC Reporting Packages : Synthesize clean, structured variance schedules, transactional evidence, and crisp commentary directly for the Sr. Revenue Controller.

Manual ERP Operations & Regional Reporting (~35%)

AR Invoice & Credit Note Uploads : Manage accurate and timely invoice and credit note uploads into local ERP systems where automated interfaces are pending.
Regional & Statutory Reporting : Prepare recurring reporting deliverables for Regional Accounting teams, including US TAX reconciliations.
Operational Query Support : Provide timely supporting data and reconciliations to internal finance stakeholders (OTC, RTR, and Finance Messaging).

Process Optimization & Automation (~25%)

Target "Time Thieves": Continuously map operational workflows to flag redundant, manual, or error-prone tasks across the close cycle.
Build Standardized Automations : Create standardized templates and automated data-cleansing models using advanced Excel, Power Query, and lightweight macros to compress close cycle times.
Governance & Knowledge Sharing : Maintain comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and visual workflow charts to ensure strong internal controls, seamless cross-training, and team continuity.

Required Qualifications & Skills

Education & Experience : B.Com / M.Com, MBA in Finance, CMA / ICWA, or CA Inter with 2–4 years of proven experience in corporate finance/accounting focused on Revenue & COGS.
Industry Background : Direct experience in Telecom, CPaaS, SaaS, or Cloud Communications (carrier billing, voice termination rates, high-volume transactional data) is highly preferred.
Technical Skills :
Advanced Excel : High proficiency in data manipulation (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, Pivot Tables), Power Query, and basic spreadsheet automation (Macros/VBA).
ERP Systems : Experience with ERP platforms such as SAP Business ByDesign (SAP ByD), NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains), or MS Dynamics AX/365 is an advantage.
BI & Reporting Tools : Familiarity with BI/reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau, PrecisionPoint).
Process Documentation : Experience documenting workflow and process flows using tools like Visio, Lucidchart, or Draw.io is a plus.

Core Competencies & Mindset

Genuine Team Player: Humble, collaborative, and ego-free; actively supports teammates during high-volume close crunches and openly shares best practices and automation wins.
Proactive Ownership & Self-Leadership : High personal initiative to manage routine deliverables and reconciliations accurately and on time with minimal day-to-day supervision.
End-to-End Analytical Logic : A natural "dot-connector" with a strong grasp of cause-and-effect—looking beyond the spreadsheet to understand how daily operational and billing activities drive revenue numbers and variances.
Crisp & Empathetic Communication : Clear, structured, and objective communication style when collaborating with colleagues, and global finance partners.
