About the role
We're looking for a detail-oriented, highly motivated accounting professional to join our finance team and drive the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process. You'll lead a small accounting team, enforce US GAAP standards, partner with external auditors, and champion process improvements that reduce close time without sacrificing accuracy.
What you'll do
Manage and lead the full monthly, quarterly, and annual accounting close cycle.
Oversee day-to-day accounting operations and ensure adherence to internal controls.
Review key reconciliations, journal entries, general ledger roll-forwards, and account reconciliations.
Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting in compliance with US GAAP and global accounting policies.
Perform and document analytical review of monthly results, including detailed variance analysis and follow-up.
Maintain documented procedures for reviewing account fluctuations and tracking resolution.
Coordinate and respond to quarterly and annual internal and external audit requests; serve as the primary liaison with external auditors.
Identify and implement process improvements and automation to shorten close timelines while maintaining accuracy.
Collaborate cross-functionally to surface opportunities for improvement and resolve accounting issues.
What you'll bring

5+ years of accounting experience at a Big 4 firm and/or a publicly traded company.
Proven leadership of accounting close activities (monthly, quarterly, annual).
Deep knowledge of US GAAP and the ability to apply it to complex financial scenarios.
Advanced Excel skills, including the ability to build and validate complex calculations manually without relying solely on automated outputs.
