Senior Accounting Manager

This is an amazing opportunity to become the finance backbone of Beeontrade and play a key role in scaling our global business. You will be joining a team of like-minded entrepreneurial executives that make up Beeontrade’s growth engine. In this role you will be empowered to make decisions, own numbers end-to-end, and grow your career.

As a Senior Accounting & Finance Operations Manager, your goal is to protect cash, ensure accurate financials, and build strong discipline around AP, AR and job profitability. You will be the person who connects the dots between operations, sales and finance – turning Cargowise data into real P&L, controlling payments, and driving collections.

On a normal day you might be reviewing job profitability in Cargowise, negotiating a payment plan with a carrier, closing the month with our external CPA, or advising the CEO on which invoices to pay and which customers to block. If you enjoy having ownership, visibility, and direct impact on business decisions, this role is for you.

Own Accounting & Reporting

• Own the end-to-end accounting for Beeontrade’s local entity (GL, AP, AR, bank, fixed assets, accruals).
• Prepare monthly P&L, balance sheet and cash flow and reconcile to Cargowise.
• Coordinate with external accountants for payroll, tax and statutory filings.
• Ensure all Cargowise jobs are properly costed and invoiced; no missing revenue, no “forgotten” costs.
• Build simple, clear reporting packs for the CEO and global finance (profit by office, product, customer).

Lead AP / Cash Management

• Own supplier AP for carriers, truckers, customs brokers, warehouses, landlords, and service providers.
• Design and run a weekly payment calendar based on cash availability and priorities.
• Decide and recommend which invoices to pay now, which to split, and which to delay – always protecting working capital.
• Ensure critical payments (duties, freight, rent, payroll, taxes) are never missed.
• Maintain strict approval workflows and segregation between this entity and other Beeontrade entities.

Lead AR / Credit & Collections

• Own the full AR process from invoicing to cash collection.
• Monitor AR aging, DSO, and past-due balances; prepare weekly collection plans.
• Call and email customers, agree payment plans, and escalate problem accounts early.
• Work closely with Sales and Operations to align credit terms, stop-ship decisions, and margin protection.
• Set up clear procedures around credit limits, pre-payment rules, and release of shipments.

Be the Cargowise Finance Owner

• Act as the Cargowise finance “super user”: job costing, invoicing, revenue recognition, and margin checks.
• Train operations and sales teams on how to use Cargowise correctly so that finance data is clean.
• Work with our global finance and systems teams to improve templates, reports and workflows in Cargowise.

Build Processes, Controls & Team

• Implement and maintain internal controls over payments, approvals, documentation and access to bank accounts.
• Document finance SOPs: AP, AR, cash application, month-end close, job profitability checks, etc.
• Supervise and develop junior AP/AR staff; review their work and coach them to higher standards.
• Partner with the CEO and Head of Finance (global) on budgeting, forecasting and vendor negotiations.

• 7+ years of experience in Accounting / Finance, including at least 3+ years in a senior role such as Accounting Manager, Finance Manager or Controller.
• Strong knowledge of local statutory requirements (payroll, tax, social security, statutory reporting).
• Proven track record managing AP, AR, cash flow and monthly financial closing.
• Hands-on experience with freight forwarding or logistics is a strong plus.
• Proficiency with Cargowise (or similar TMS/ERP) and advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Ability to read and interpret financial statements and explain them clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
• High level of integrity, ownership, and discipline; respects approval workflows and entity separation.
• Comfortable challenging vendors, customers and internal stakeholders using facts and numbers.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); other languages are a plus.
