Accounting Manager

A global financial institution is looking for a Manager to join its finance team. You’d own the accounting for a portfolio of subsidiaries across the business, sitting close to senior finance leadership on a small team with very little hierarchy. The firm is actively putting money into automation and AI across accounting and reporting, and they want someone who sees a manual process and wants to fix it.

What you’ll be doing

• Running month-end for your entities, from journal entries and recs to accruals and intercompany
• Substantiating balance sheets and pressure testing accruals, and flagging anything unusual before it becomes a problem
• Handling quarterly regulatory reporting and monitoring capital
• Supporting annual statutory and U.S. GAAP audits, including the footnote disclosures
• Building quarterly financials for internal teams and outside investors
• Explaining the numbers: monthly and quarterly balance sheet and P&L variance commentary
• Partnering with accounting, regulatory, tax, and treasury teams to get everything booked right
• Finding ways to automate and streamline, and partnering with IT on system changes
• Picking up ad hoc projects as they land

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting
• 4 to 6 years of experience, ideally Big Four audit with financial services clients, or legal entity control or corporate accounting at a bank or asset manager
• CPA preferred, CPA candidates considered
• Experience with Workiva, Oracle, Tableau, or Alteryx a plus
• Hands-on use of AI tools or automation to create efficiencies is a big plus
