Accounting Manager

Location: Remote (US based, East Coast hours)

Industry: Professional Services

Compensation: $115K to $130K base plus annual bonus and a strong benefits package

The Opportunity

Synergy Search is conducting a search for a Corporate Accounting Manager on behalf of a private equity backed professional services firm with a global footprint.

You will own the general ledger and month end close for a multi entity, international organization and lead an accounting team that spans the US and abroad.

If you are a hands on leader who likes running a tight close, building a strong team, and seeing your work make a visible difference, this is the seat.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Remote with strong benefits. Work from anywhere in the US, with flexible PTO, a strong 401(k) match, paid parental leave, and company paid life and disability coverage.
• Real leadership. Lead an established team that is expected to grow as the business scales.
• Global scope. Consolidations, intercompany and foreign currency across an international entity structure.
• Growth backing. Private equity support and an active acquisition strategy keep the work interesting.
• A team that promotes from within. Strong performers here move up, and leadership invests in their people.
• Visible impact. Your close and reporting feed directly into what senior leadership sees every month.

What You Will Own

• Run the month end close for US and international entities and hit deadlines every month
• Own the consolidation, including eliminations, intercompany and foreign currency translation
• Review balance sheet reconciliations across a large, multi entity chart of accounts
• Deliver US GAAP financials, management reporting and month over month analysis
• Lead, coach and review the work of senior accountants in the US and abroad
• Serve as the general ledger point of contact for the annual audit
• Weigh in on technical accounting topics and new standards
• Bring newly acquired entities into the close
• Strengthen workflows and controls as the company grows

What You Need

• Hands on ownership of international, multi entity consolidations (eliminations, intercompany, foreign currency)
• Industry accounting experience; not coming straight out of public accounting
• Several years of people management with multiple direct reports
• Month end close ownership as a manager who still works in the details
• 7 to 15+ years of progressive accounting experience

What Sets You Apart

• Public accounting foundation followed by industry experience
• Experience leading offshore or distributed team members
• Technical accounting exposure, such as lease accounting
• Background at a private equity backed company
• Experience with a project based ERP is a plus.

Good to Know

• Fully remote, US based, working East Coast hours
