Built on Real-World Finance Experience

Liv Data was built on the idea that finance consulting should be practical. Too often, companies work with a financial advisory firm that delivers recommendations without staying involved through execution. The result is a gap between strategy and reality, where initiatives stall, systems remain underutilized, and finance teams continue to operate under pressure.

Our team comes from hands-on experience across FP&A, accounting, and finance transformation. We’ve worked inside finance teams, not just alongside them. That perspective shapes how we operate today, as a financial advisory firm focused on delivering real business outcomes.

Location: Liv Data — Jersey City, NJ, with several days per week on-site in Newark, NJ at the assigned client.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the monthly close: journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and timely, accurate financial statements in

accordance with US GAAP.

• Run day-to-day operations across AP, AR, general ledger, and payroll, ensuring transactions are recorded

completely and correctly.

• Serve as the primary accounting point of contact for client leadership; prepare and present monthly reporting,

KPIs, and variance analysis.

• Build, document, and enforce accounting policies, SOPs, and internal controls — stabilizing the function

through periods of change.

• Direct Liv Data’s offshore delivery team supporting the engagement: set priorities, review output, and hold the

work to client deadlines.

• Act as the human in the loop on Liv Data’s automation stack — reviewing and approving AI-processed

transactions, resolving exceptions, and owning the controls that sit around the technology.

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow monitoring in partnership with client finance leadership.

• Lead audit preparation and act as the client-side liaison to external auditors.

• Identify and drive process and systems improvements across both the client’s ERP and the Liv Data platform.

Location & Delivery Expectations:

This role is based out of Liv Data’s Jersey City office, with several days per week on-site in Newark at the current

client. Travel beyond the tri-state area is occasional and engagement-dependent — not a routine expectation of

the job.

Physical presence at the client site is a core requirement, not an incidental one. Trust with client staff and

leadership is built in person, and stabilization work of this kind cannot be done at arm’s length. You should be

comfortable operating independently on-site and adapting quickly to an unfamiliar system and culture.

Career Path:

Liv Data is a founder-led firm in an active growth phase, which makes the path here near-term and concrete rather

than theoretical. Progression is driven by delivery outcomes and client renewal, not tenure.

Engagement Manager — Own one client engagement end to end. Deliver a close the client relies on and processes

that outlast you.

Senior Engagement Manager — Own the firm’s most complex or highest-value engagement. Mentor incoming

Engagement Managers and help shape how the offshore team and automation stack get deployed across clients.

Director, Client Accounting Operations — Oversee multiple concurrent engagements and the Engagement

Managers running them. Own delivery quality and engagement economics across the Run practice, and expand

client relationships into Transform work.

Principal — Firm leadership alongside the existing Principals: client origination, practice strategy, and firm

economics.

Two things worth stating plainly. First, engagements are Liv Data relationships, not individual placements — the

firm carries continuity between them, so when an engagement concludes or changes scope, you are redeployed

rather than left exposed. Second, strong performers are not locked into Run. There is a path into Transform (FP&A,

automation, systems implementation) and into Advise, where we run or augment the client’s CFO office, as your

interests and the firm’s book develop.

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including full ownership of the month-end close and financial

statement preparation.

• Hands-on experience with at least one mid-market ERP (NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, or comparable).

• Advanced Excel.

• Demonstrated ability to build or rebuild processes and controls — not simply maintain an established

function.

• Polished, credible, and self-directed with senior stakeholders.

Preferred:

• CPA.

• Experience in manufacturing, distribution, or another inventory-based or operations-heavy industry.

• Prior consulting or client-service experience.

• Experience directing a support team, including outsourced, offshore, or managed-service resources.

• Comfort with AI-assisted or automated finance tooling.

• Reporting, consolidation, or data-query skills (SQL or similar).

What Success Looks Like:

• A clean, on-time close the client can rely on and financial reporting leadership trusts.

• Documented, repeatable processes that reduce the client’s dependence on any single individual.

• An effective working rhythm with Liv Data’s offshore team and automation stack — more capacity delivered,

not more headcount added.

• A client relationship strong enough to renew and expand the engagement.
