Senior Accounting Manager

Salary: $140,000 – $160,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • High‑visibility Senior Accounting Manager role supporting US Markets technical accounting, complex transactions, and strategic initiatives
  • Reports to a fantastic Director who reports to the US Controller — strong leadership, highly regarded, and great to work with
  • Not a traditional close‑heavy role — deep business partnership, exposure to Corporate Development, and involvement in acquisitions
  • Significant long‑term growth opportunity within a global, publicly traded data & analytics leader
  • Exceptional culture
  • Only 2 days in-office weekly
  • Excellent benefits: robust Day‑1 medical/dental/vision, 401(k) match, ESPP with 15% discount, FTO (flexible time off), and on‑site gym
  • Opportunity to build technical accounting mastery while influencing decisions across the business
Key Responsibilities For The Senior Accounting Manager
  • Partner with business stakeholders to understand new initiatives and evaluate accounting implications under U.S. GAAP
  • Prepare technical accounting memos for new, complex, or unusual transactions, ensuring decision‑makers understand implications in advance
  • Monitor minority investments for cash flow, operational risk, and impairment indicators; review related entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules
  • Support statutory audit processes for foreign entities acquired by the US Markets segment, coordinating with auditors and external bookkeepers
  • Collaborate with Corporate Accounting on all M&A activity — coordinate acquisition/divestiture entries, review supporting schedules, and support QofE, audits, and diligence
  • Assess the impact of new accounting standards and partner with operational accounting teams to implement new guidance, policies, and controls
  • Oversee technical accounting areas during month‑end close to ensure accurate and timely reporting
  • Identify opportunities to streamline technical processes through automation and technology‑driven solutions
  • Communicate complex accounting matters clearly to stakeholders across Finance, Corporate Development, FP&A, and business leadership
  • Serve as a trusted advisor for technical questions, policy interpretation, and accounting implications of strategic business decisions
Qualifications For The Senior Accounting Manager
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; CPA required
  • 6–7+ years of progressive accounting experience (Big 4 or public accounting background strongly preferred)
  • Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, technical accounting topics, and SEC reporting processes
  • Experience supporting month‑end close and earnings cycles for public companies

This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Accounting Manager seeking meaningful technical ownership, executive exposure, and the chance to contribute to strategic business decisions within a global, high‑growth organization.
