Accounting Supervisor

SOUTRON GLOBAL, INC.
Accounting Supervisor
Group Finance · Multi-entity software business · Remote, United States or Canada The company
Soutron Global builds and supports library, archive, and collections management software for the GLAM market — galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. We serve public libraries, archives including corporate archives, and corporate libraries. Customers include state library consortia, national and municipal archives, government ministries, and Fortune 500 corporate information centers.
The group has been assembled by acquisition and comprises Soutron, Auto-Graphics (VERSO, SHAREit), MINISIS, and Biblionix (Apollo, Artemis), operating across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom in three currencies. Revenue is overwhelmingly recurring and retention is strong. The group is backed by Bloom Equity Partners . Why this role exists
We would rather be direct than have you find this out in week two.
The finance function is small relative to the group around it. There is a Controller, a part-time Staff Accountant, and an Accounting Administrator, and they support four operating businesses on legacy systems while a NetSuite implementation replaces them. A revenue accounting seat is currently vacant. The close, the reconciliations, billing, collections, and the reporting all compete for the same few hours.
This role takes the execution. You own the close calendar and land it. You own the reconciliations and the schedules behind them. You own billing and collections. You supervise and develop the two people who process the transactions. And you carry the finance workstreams of the NetSuite migration for the areas you own — opening balances, sub-ledger tie-out, and the parallel run. What you own
1. The monthly and quarterly close

- Own the close calendar across all group entities. Publish it, run it, and land it on the agreed day.

- Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, prepaids, deferred revenue, intercompany, and foreign exchange entries.

- Own the balance sheet reconciliations — a documented, reviewed reconciliation for every material account, every month, with supporting schedules a third party can follow without a conversation.

- Prepare the monthly reporting pack for the Controller’s review, with variance commentary that says what moved and why.

-
Where two reports disagree, find the cause, fix it, and write down the reconciliation. This is a standing expectation of the role, not an occasional task.

2. Revenue accounting — execution under ASC 606

- Apply the group’s revenue recognition policy across SaaS subscriptions, hosted and on-premise licenses, support and maintenance, implementation and data migration services, training, and third-party pass-through.

- Own the deferred revenue and contract asset roll-forwards, reconciled to the contract population rather than to last month’s balance.

- Review new and renewing contracts against the revenue checklist and escalate anything that does not fit it — multi-element arrangements, consortium and statewide agreements, mid-term expansions, non-standard terms.

- Maintain the schedules that support the policy, and flag where the policy does not answer the question in front of you.

3. Order to cash, and collections in particular

- Own billing accuracy across renewals, new business, change orders, and professional services, and the handoff from contract administration into the ledger.

- Own the accounts receivable ledger and the collections process — aging discipline, a documented dunning cycle, escalation paths, and weekly reporting on aging and days sales outstanding.

-
Be clear on what you are taking on: one legacy entity currently carries the large majority of its receivable book past 30 days. Improving that aging against a baseline agreed in month one is the single most measurable objective in this role, and it will require working with sales, customer success, and public sector procurement contacts —
