Job description

Burkland Associates is looking for an ERP Implementation Specialist to join our Accounting & Finance practice. This is an individual contributor role for experienced ERP professionals who thrive on building scalable financial infrastructure for high-growth startups.

You will facilitate ERP implementations, configurations, and optimizations across our client base and work closely with founders, CFOs, and internal team members. Our current core platforms include NetSuite and Rillet, with exposure to other modern finance tools across the startup tech stack. This is a unique opportunity to bring deep ERP expertise to some of the most innovative companies in software, biotech, and beyond.

Your Typical, Atypical, Day

Implementation & Configuration - Own end-to-end ERP implementations for Burkland clients, including chart of accounts design, module configuration, workflow automation, and user acceptance testing. Document implementation decisions and maintain project trackers throughout each engagement.

System Assessment & Optimization - Evaluate existing ERP environments and identify gaps, inefficiencies, or misconfigurations. Recommend and execute improvements to reporting structures, dashboards, and custom workflows to align the system with each client's business model. Deliver training sessions, create user documentation, and proactively surface system improvements that align with client growth milestones

Accounting Operations & Close Support - Support the monthly close process within client ERP systems including journal entries, reconciliations, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and financial reporting. Ensure the system accurately reflects the client's accounting policies and audit requirements.

Integrations & Data Migration - Manage data migrations from legacy systems (QuickBooks, Xero, spreadsheets) into modern ERP platforms. Collaborate with tech and product teams to scope and oversee third-party integrations (Stripe, Brex, Ramp, Salesforce, etc.) using native automation tools or iPaaS solutions.

Process Improvement & Technology - Identify opportunities to streamline financial workflows through automation and cross-functional collaboration. Stay current with platform releases, best practices, and the evolving startup finance tech stack.

Requirements

  • Ability to manage multiple client engagements simultaneously and reprioritize as needed
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills where you can translate technical system decisions into plain language for non-technical founders and finance teams
  • Self-directed and proactive: comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving startup environments
  • Excited to support clients in SaaS, fintech, biotech, and other high-growth industries

Core Competencies

  • Hands-on experience with NetSuite and/or Rillet; familiarity with other modern ERP or accounting platforms is a plus
  • Experience with core ERP modules: GL, AR, AP, Fixed Assets, Multi-Book Accounting, Advanced Revenue Management, and/or similar equivalents across platforms
  • Familiarity with workflow automation, scripting, or integration tooling native to your platform(s) of expertise
  • Experience integrating ERP systems with SaaS billing, payroll, CRM, or expense tools
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets for data analysis and reconciliation
  • ERP Administrator or Consultant certification preferred (NetSuite, Rillet, or equivalent)
