Part-Time Accountant (Contract) – M&A / NetSuite

Description:

About us

Bennett Filtration (SG Filtration, LLC) is a Troy, Michigan industrial filtration distributor that recently joined the SG family of companies. We’re looking for a part-time, third-party accountant (individual or small firm) to own our books and help lead us through our post-acquisition transition.

What you’ll do

• Lead our post-acquisition transition checklist: own open items, set dates, drive them to closure, and report status weekly
• Catch-up close: reconcile and close April–October 2026, then run a steady monthly close within 5 business days
• Bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations, plus AP/AR oversight alongside our AR/AP specialist
• Monthly financial statements and a 13-week cash flow forecast
• Transition customers and vendors to SG Filtration, LLC: notify accounts, send our new W-9 to customers, collect vendor W-9s, and update COIs and payment instructions
• Quarterly incentive-plan profit calculations and annual statements tied to the purchase agreement
• Support government registrations (SAM/CAGE) and coordinate with our CPA on tax
• Keep a shared issues list with our team (owner, status, next step) and be the go-to for accounting and CPA-related questions

Terms

• Part-time contract. Hours are heavier during the catch-up period, then steady each month.
• Hybrid, on site in Troy, MI as needed
• Hourly or monthly retainer. Please include your proposed rate when you apply.

Requirements:

• M&A experience required: closing and post-acquisition transitions, including entity setup, opening balance sheet, purchase-agreement reporting, and working-capital true-up
• NetSuite experience strongly preferred (close, reconciliations, reporting)
• Experience running month-end close and catch-up closes
• Distribution or small manufacturing background a plus
• Responsive, accountable, and proactive. You own issues to closure.
• Able to be on site in Troy, MI as needed
