What you will do:
- Lead and own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accurate and timely global reporting under US GAAP.
- Oversee and approve account reconciliations, journal entries, consolidation adjustments, and accounting schedules prepared by the team.
- Manage global consolidations across multiple international entities, including intercompany transactions and eliminations.
- Prepare and review higher‑level corporate journal entries, balance sheet schedules, and management reporting support.
- Partner with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Billing, and Procurement to ensure completeness and accuracy across all subledgers.
- Lead external audit and tax processes, including preparation of support and direct engagement with auditors and tax advisors.
- Maintain, strengthen, and enhance accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls across all entities.
- Identify and implement opportunities to streamline processes, automate workflows, and improve efficiency within the close cycle.
- Mentor, coach, and develop accounting team members, supporting a culture of growth, accountability, and excellence.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally with global department leaders to support initiatives, process improvements, and system enhancements.
- Execute on special projects, including system implementations, integration of new entities, and financial readiness for PE‑backed scaling requirements.
What you will bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance required; CPA strongly preferred.
- Progressive accounting experience, with several years in a senior, supervisory, or controller‑level role.
- Strong technical accounting knowledge, including US GAAP and multi‑entity consolidations.
- International accounting experience required, with hands‑on involvement in global consolidations and intercompany processes.
- Experience working in a private‑equity–backed environment required, including exposure to PE reporting, controls, and scaling expectations.
- Experience in the SaaS or software industry strongly preferred.
- Proven experience managing external audit and tax processes and communicating directly with third‑party providers.
- Proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) and strong Excel skills.
- Exceptional attention to detail, analytical thinking, and ability to operate with flexibility in a changing environment.
- Strong leadership, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to build meaningful relationships across finance and operations.
- A proactive, self‑motivated approach with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, semi-remote environment.
