About the Role
We are seeking a hands-on Accounting Manager to join our global accounting team, with a focus on managing international statutory audits, supporting month-end close activities, and improving accounting processes across the organization.
In this role, you'll take ownership of international audit coordination, working closely with external accounting advisors, auditors, and internal teams to ensure accurate reporting and timely completion of deliverables. You'll also play an active role in our monthly close process and help identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate how we work.
The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in accounting, experience managing international audits, and the ability to keep complex projects moving across multiple stakeholders. We're looking for someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, taking ownership, and finding better ways to get things done in a fast-paced, growing organization.
What You'll Do
Own International Audits and Statutory Reporting
Lead the coordination and execution of international statutory audits across multiple countries, ensuring timelines, deliverables, and reporting requirements are met.
Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and accounting advisors, managing requests, tracking outstanding items, and driving issues through resolution.
Partner with external advisors responsible for preparing local statutory financial statements and converting U.S. GAAP financial information to local accounting standards.
Review U.S. GAAP-to-local GAAP reconciliations, bridge files, supporting schedules, and statutory reporting deliverables for completeness and accuracy.
Maintain and manage the international audit calendar, proactively identifying risks, communicating progress, and escalating issues before deadlines are impacted.
Coordinate with internal stakeholders, including Finance, Tax, HR, Legal, and Treasury, to obtain required financial information and supporting documentation.
Support Accounting Operations and Month-End Close
Take an active, hands-on role in monthly close activities, including account reconciliations, journal entries, financial reviews, and other recurring accounting responsibilities.
Partner with the broader accounting team to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.
Support the annual U.S. consolidated financial statement audit as needed.
Help strengthen accounting controls, documentation, and consistency across global accounting operations.
Balance recurring accounting responsibilities with increased audit activity during peak reporting periods.
Improve Processes and Drive Accountability
Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate manual accounting, reconciliation, and audit processes.
Build strong working relationships with internal teams and external service providers to improve communication, accountability, and timely delivery of information.
Develop repeatable processes and tracking mechanisms that reduce unnecessary follow-up, improve visibility, and keep work moving.
Leverage technology, including AI-enabled tools, to improve efficiency, accuracy, and productivity while maintaining appropriate financial controls and data confidentiality.
Take ownership of challenges, proactively identify solutions, and help build more scalable accounting operations as the business grows.
