Role purpose
Own the independent validation and control layer for a multi-entity Order-to-Cash implementation. Profile data, design reconciliation controls, plan and execute testing, classify defects, validate cutover results, and preserve production-readiness evidence. Work under the direction of the End-to-End O2C Program Architect and coordinate closely with Finance, Salesforce, IES, integration, implementation, operating, and end-user workstreams.
Key responsibilities
Profile Salesforce, QuickBooks Online, Intuit Enterprise Suite, connector, and migration data for duplicates, incomplete records, inconsistent mappings, credits, payments, and posting or conversion risks.
Define data-quality rules, survivorship, matching, validation, control totals, and exception categories.
Prepare cleanup and validation workbooks and document authorized client decisions.
Execute or validate approved corrections within the managed implementation team.
Create reconciliation workbooks for customers, items, invoices, credits, payments, entities, dimensions, periods, opening balances, and integration results.
Define record-count, financial-total, subledger-to-ledger, source-to-target, and period-based controls.
Test invoice creation, retry behavior, duplicate prevention, routing, payment status, cash application, reconciliation, reporting, and cutover scenarios.
Coordinate system, integration, migration, UAT, regression, and cutover testing.
Maintain a defect register and classify issues as true defects, data issues, configuration issues, provider issues, user/process issues, requirements gaps, or enhancements.
Analyze data, logs, test results, and exceptions to isolate root causes.
Define entry and exit criteria and support production-readiness decisions.
Own the disposition and acceptance of material defects and reconciliation exceptions.
Preserve scripts, evidence, test results, approvals, and readiness records.
Support cutover, stabilization, handoff, SOP review, and training.
Escalate blockers and unresolved risks.
Success in the role
Data is reliable and reconciles across systems, test evidence supports production readiness, defects are correctly classified and resolved, and no critical issue blocks production.
Preferred background
Meaningful hands-on experience in:
CRM, accounting, or ERP data quality
Deduplication, matching, survivorship, and exception rules
Reconciliation, including subledger-to-general-ledger controls
Migration validation and source-to-target comparison
SQL and data analysis
Advanced Excel, Power Query, and/or Power Pivot
Test planning, integration testing, migration testing, UAT, and regression
Defect management and root-cause analysis
Cutover readiness and production stabilization
Salesforce, QuickBooks, Intuit Enterprise Suite, or comparable ERP systems
General QA or training experience without strong reconciliation and data-analysis capability is not sufficient.
Screening questions
Describe a project in which you led data quality, reconciliation, and testing across a CRM and accounting or ERP system.
How did you design cross-system reconciliations, including control counts, financial totals, and exception categories?
How did you prove that customers, invoices, credits, payments, entities, dimensions, and periods migrated correctly?
Describe a defect that initially appeared to be an integration or configuration issue but was actually caused by data, provider behavior, requirements, or user process. How did you prove the cause?
Which tools did you use for SQL, data comparison, reconciliation, test management, and defect tracking?
What production-readiness criteria did you apply to a financial-system integration or migration?
Client's questions:
Describe a project where you led data quality, reconciliation, and testing across CRM and accounting or ERP systems.
Describe a cross-system reconciliation you designed. Which record counts, financial totals, control totals, and exception categories did you use?
How would you prove that customers, invoices, credits, payments, entity assignments, dimensions, and accounting periods migrated correctly?
Provide an example where a reported software defect was actually caused by data, configuration, provider work, changed requirements, or user error. How did you prove the distinction?
Which tools have you used for SQL analysis, data comparison, reconciliation, test management, and defect tracking?
I can assist with various tasks within your project and hope to contribute to its growth. My expertise includes data mining as well as digital design and banner creation; I possess skills in image editing and creative design, and I am known for my attention to detail.

I need a reliable and detail-oriented Data Entry Specialist to accurately enter and organize data into spreadsheets and online systems. The ideal freelancer should have good typing skills, pay close attention to detail, follow instructions carefully, and deliver work on time. Experience with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Google Sheets is preferred.
I'm looking for an experienced Microsoft Excel specialist to build a custom contractor management workbook for my growing home remodeling company, LoneStar South Renovations.
My husband has over 5 years of experience in home remodeling and recently transitioned from working independently to managing a small crew. We primarily subcontract for one general contractor and occasionally complete side jobs for our own clients. We're a small company (currently 2–4 independent contractors), but we want a professional, scalable workbook that will grow with our business.
What I Need
The workbook should include:
Executive dashboard with KPIs, charts, revenue, profit, payroll, and active jobs
Project tracker with automatic job numbering (ex. LSR-2026-001)
Weekly payroll tracker for independent contractors
Contractor directory
Job profitability tracking
Business expense tracker
Side job tracking (including estimates, invoices, and payments)
Change order tracking
Automatic formulas, dropdown menus, and color-coded statuses
Professional, user-friendly design that is fully editable
Our primary client provides a detailed Scope of Work for each project, and we are paid weekly by direct deposit based on completed labor hours. We then pay our crew weekly. The workbook should be designed around this workflow.
I'm looking for someone who has experience creating advanced Excel systems for contractors, construction companies, or service-based businesses—not just basic spreadsheets.
Please include:
Examples of similar Excel projects
Estimated timeline
Estimated cost
Any recommendations you have for improving the workbook
I'd also like to schedule a Zoom or Microsoft Teams meeting before starting the project so we can discuss the business, workflow, and requirements in more detail.

Our company imports and distributes commercial fitness equipment, including strength equipment, cardio machines, racks, benches, replacement parts, accessories, and related products. The role involves working with overseas manufacturers, technical product information, production schedules, purchase orders, shipping documentation, quality issues, and inbound inventory coordination.
This position expands an existing team and is intended to improve coverage, responsiveness, and continuity. You will work alongside experienced teammates to ensure supplier requests, production questions, quality-related issues, documentation, and shipment activities continue moving efficiently whenever priorities shift or another team member is unavailable.
This is a hands-on operations role. We are looking for someone who can manage a busy daily workload, communicate clearly with suppliers, identify missing information, maintain accurate records, follow up consistently, and ensure work is completed through documented resolution.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Supplier Operations
* Monitor assigned supplier communications throughout the workday.
* Review new requests promptly and determine ownership, required actions, deadlines, missing information, and any necessary escalation.
* Keep communication organized and maintain continuity within existing conversations whenever possible.
* Follow up with suppliers until requested information, quotations, documents, corrections, replacement parts, credits, drawings, photographs, or confirmations are received.
* Prepare concise internal summaries whenever supplier responses require management review or business decisions.
Procurement and Sourcing
* Prepare and issue RFQs for equipment, replacement parts, accessories, packaging materials, electrical components, and related products.
* Collect and compare supplier pricing, minimum order quantities, tooling costs, sample costs, production lead times, payment terms, warranty terms, shipping terms, certifications, testing information, and freight assumptions.
* Maintain organized quote comparison worksheets that clearly distinguish confirmed information from outstanding questions.
* Assist in preparing purchase order packages for internal approval.
* Verify that quotations, invoices, purchase orders, specifications, and final production instructions remain consistent before manufacturing begins.
* Track samples, production milestones, revisions, approvals, and supplier commitments throughout each project.
Technical Product Coordination
* Request and organize technical specifications, dimensions, weights, electrical requirements, materials, drawings, photographs, labels, packaging details, assembly information, and related documentation.
* Identify inconsistencies or incomplete specifications and obtain clarification before work proceeds.
* Track pre-production approvals and verify that approved revisions are reflected in final production documentation.
* Maintain accurate version control whenever products, SKUs, colors, components, packaging, labeling, or specifications change.
Quality and Supplier Recovery
* Convert warehouse findings, customer support feedback, and quality reports into structured supplier recovery cases.
* Document defects, affected SKUs, supporting evidence, requested corrective actions, and required completion dates.
* Track replacement parts, supplier credits, corrective actions, revised components, and future production improvements.
* Follow supplier recovery activities until replacement, corrective action, credit, or documented resolution has been completed.
* Reconcile replacement part requirements with supplier orders and incoming shipments.
* Escalate recurring quality concerns, unresolved supplier issues, safety-related findings, or shipment risks to the appropriate internal decision makers.
* Support quality documentation while following established approval processes for production and shipment decisions.
Shipping Documentation and Import Coordination
* Review supplier invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, shipment quantities, container information, estimated arrival dates, freight documentation, and customs-related paperwork.
* Verify SKU information, quantities, product versions, spare parts, cartons, and shipping documents before products are shipped.
* Identify discrepancies in supplier documentation and coordinate corrections before shipment.
* Look for opportunities to consolidate products or replacement parts into scheduled shipments whenever practical.
* Maintain accurate relationships between supplier orders, shipping documentation, and internal inventory records.
* Prepare clear incoming shipment summaries for internal teams.
Workflow Management
* Maintain an organized work queue showing priorities, ownership, next actions, due dates, current status, blockers, and supporting references.
* Review aging work items daily.
* Escalate overdue or high-risk items before deadlines are missed.
* Provide concise daily status updates covering urgent issues, supplier delays, required decisions, and completed work.
* Keep project records, shared documentation, spreadsheets, and tracking systems aligned.
* Consider work complete only after the requested outcome has been achieved or appropriately documented through the established escalation process.
ESTIMATED WORK ALLOCATION
* 40% Procurement, sourcing, RFQs, purchase orders, and production follow-up
* 25% Quality reporting, supplier recovery, and replacement parts
* 20% Shipping documentation, inbound logistics, and import coordination
* 15% Workflow management, reporting, documentation, and escalation

Client's questions:
Describe the most complex supplier or manufacturing project you personally operated from RFQ through production or shipment. Identify the products, countries, documents, supplier problems, your exact responsibilities, and the measurable result.
Which systems have you used to manage supplier email, quotations, purchase orders, packing lists, QC issues, and deadlines? Describe the exact tracker fields or workflow you used in Gmail, Excel, Google Sheets, Monday.com, an ERP, or similar systems.
You inherit 60 supplier threads, inconsistent filenames, missing owners, deadlines, and conflicting spreadsheets. Describe your first 48-hour plan to build one reliable operating queue while preserving all original records and supporting evidence.
A factory reports an order is ready, but the packing list conflicts with the approved purchase order and a QC replacement request remains unresolved. The container closes in 48 hours. Explain what you would verify, hold, ask the supplier, and escalate.
Describe a real hardware or equipment QC or supplier recovery case you handled. Explain how you documented the issue, obtained replacement parts, credit, or corrective action, linked it to shipment or production records, and verified resolution.

Admin Support, Data Entry & Transcription Services
I manage our company database and spend far too much time on repetitive inventory updates in Microsoft Excel. I’m ready to streamline that workflow with a dependable automation solution.
Here’s what I need the new workbook or add-in to handle:
• Automatically read incoming inventory files and update stock levels in the master sheet.
• Cross-reference shipment data so each item’s in-transit or delivered status is always current.
• Produce clear daily and monthly summary reports at the press of a button.
VBA, Power Query, or a mix of both are fine so long as the end result is fast, accurate, and easy for non-technical staff—ideally a single button or ribbon command. Accuracy is non-negotiable: every quantity must reconcile perfectly with the numbers exported from our ERP.
Acceptance criteria
• No manual copy-paste once raw CSVs are placed in the input folder.
• Stock balances match ERP totals to within ±1 unit.
• Reports build in under 30 seconds on a 10 k-row dataset.
Please keep formulas transparent, comment the code clearly, and include a short hand-over guide or screencast so I can maintain small tweaks myself.
