About the role
About the Role
We are looking for an Accounting Manager with a strong general accounting foundation and hands-on intercompany experience to join our Accounting Operations team. You will own accounting and close activities across assigned balance sheet and P&L areas, manage intercompany activity for assigned entities, and build efficient, well-controlled processes.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role with responsibility for independently managing accounting processes, exercising sound judgment, and reviewing work performed by outsourced partners. You will partner closely with Tax, Treasury, Strategic Finance, and Business Systems to resolve issues, support business growth, and improve how we work.
In this role, you will:
-
Own the close for assigned accounting areas, including accruals, prepaids, and other balance sheet and operating expense accounts, ensuring accurate results and timely completion.
-
Prepare and review journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules; resolve accounting issues and maintain clear, audit-ready documentation.
-
Manage intercompany accounting for assigned entities, including cross-charges, reconciliations, and coordination of settlements. Investigate differences and drive timely resolution with counterparties.
-
Support consolidation activities, including intercompany eliminations, entity-level validations, and foreign currency accounting, in partnership with the consolidation lead.
-
Analyze balance sheet and P&L movements, develop clear flux commentary, and partner with Strategic Finance to explain business drivers and variances.
-
Coordinate and review work performed by outsourced accounting partners, setting expectations for quality, timeliness, and issue escalation.
-
Own and improve internal controls within assigned processes, maintain process documentation, and support external audits.
-
Drive process improvements and automation, partnering with Business Systems to improve Oracle workflows, strengthen data quality, and reduce manual work through tools and AI-enabled solutions.
-
Support new entities, acquisitions, and business initiatives by establishing accounting workflows and integrating them into the close.
