Cash Reconciliation Accountant

The Cash Reconciliation Accountant is responsible for managing month-end cash accounting and reconciliation activities across Cadency and Workday, including journal entries, account certifications, cash clearing reconciliations, and Revenue-to-Cash reconciliations. This person will prepare accruals, validate balances, and ensure cash sub-ledgers and General Ledger accounts are fully aligned across five retail fascias. The accountant will maintain SOX-compliant, audit-ready documentation while partnering with reconciliation teams to resolve variances and improve close processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and post manual Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) journal entries in Workday to resolve unreconciled items and timing variances surfaced during Cadency cash matching.

• Execute Cadency’s monthly Account Certification process, validating and certifying all cash-related balance sheet accounts across all 5 fascias.

• Lead the monthly close workflow in Cadency, completing cash clearing account reconciliations (1020/1030/1040) within established Workday close schedules (WD Day 2 / Day 10).

• Perform monthly Revenue-to-Cash reconciliations to ensure revenue recorded in Workday GL fully aligns with settled cash receipts in Cadency.

• Leverage insights from Cash Reconciliation Analysts regarding recurring variance patterns to refine month-end accrual models and journal entry workflows.

• Calculate, validate, and record month-end accrual journal entries in Workday for Returns Reserves, E-commerce In-Transit, and Tender Fees.

• Ensure complete alignment between Cadency bank/book proof balances and Workday General Ledger balance sheet line items.

• Maintain audit-ready documentation and execute period-end revenue cutoff procedures to comply with internal control standards and SOX.

• Verify data completeness and accuracy as balances move from Cadency reconciliation outputs into Workday General Ledger financial statements.

• Compile certified balance sheet workpapers, deposit-in-transit schedules, and un-cleared bank item reports for external auditors.

• Drive ongoing efficiency improvements in the month-end cash close process by standardizing accounting workpapers, refining EIB adjustment templates, and reducing cycle times for balance sheet certifications and revenue-to-cash reconciliations.

• Perform monthly reconciliations between Workday cash sub-ledgers and the General Ledger to ensure zero balance variances.
