About the Role

In the capacity of Lead Accounting Manager, Strategic Initiatives, you will concentrate on significant, intricate, cross-departmental projects that enhance our accounting and reporting functions beyond the standard closing and reporting cycles.

  • Refine existing accrual processes through system upgrades and procedural enhancements.
  • Monitor and report on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
  • Define and execute the accounting ramifications of unique transactions in collaboration with technical accounting.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • 8+ years of extensive experience in accounting, including mergers and acquisitions, new entity establishment, business unit reporting, executive reporting, and system upgrades.
  • Previous experience in a public accounting firm in a managerial or senior managerial capacity (preferred).
  • Experience with both publicly traded and rapidly growing private SaaS organizations.
  • A solid grounding in technical accounting, with expertise in US GAAP and experience managing complex audit areas.
  • Proven ability to lead and support high-velocity, cross-functional teams on impactful initiatives.
  • Exceptional analytical skills, strategic mindset, and the capacity to thrive in a dynamic, innovative environment.
  • CPA certification required (inactive status acceptable).
