Senior Manager, Finance Transformation

Senior Manager, Finance Transformation

Trading Technologies is a global capital markets technology company operating across the U.S., EMEA and APAC. We are looking for a Senior Manager, Finance Transformation to lead meaningful and high-impact initiatives in our finance organization: driving how we work and how we grow. This is not a traditional accounting management role. You will spend the majority of your time on forward‑looking initiatives — redesigning close processes, implementing automation and tooling, and serving as the accounting lead on M&A and integrations.

We are looking for someone with a sharp eye for identifying problems, the initiative to propose solutions, and the drive to see them through in a fast‑moving environment. If you are energized by building and transforming, this role is for you.

• Finance Transformation & Process Improvement
  • Own the finance transformation roadmap — identifying inefficiencies across the accounting function and leading end‑to‑end implementation of scalable improvements.
  • Lead the evaluation, selection, and rollout of close management and automation tools (e.g., Flo Qast, Power Automate, Power BI), including stakeholder alignment, change management, and training.
  • Redesign the month‑end close process in partnership with the Accounting leaders, with a focus on reducing cycle time, eliminating manual touchpoints, and improving data quality.
  • Partner with finance systems teams on ERP enhancements, workflow integrations, and data infrastructure improvements (Net Suite and Coupa tools).
  • Establish and maintain SOPs for all key accounting processes, ensuring institutional knowledge is documented, scalable, and audit‑ready.
  • Define and track KPIs for close efficiency and team productivity; present progress and recommendations to the Controller and senior leadership.
• M&A Accounting & Integration
  • Serve as the finance lead on M&A transactions from pre‑close through full integration — including due diligence support, purchase price allocation, opening balance sheet review, and post‑acquisition accounting.
  • Coordinate with legal, FP&A, tax, and external advisors to ensure timely and accurate accounting treatment of acquisition‑related items including goodwill, intangibles, and deferred revenue adjustments.
  • Lead the harmonization of accounting policies, charts of accounts, and systems across acquired entities.
  • Build and maintain a repeatable M&A integration playbook, incorporating lessons learned from each transaction to accelerate future integrations.
  • Monitor post‑acquisition financial performance and flag accounting or reporting issues early to the Controller.

• CPA required.
• 7–10 years of progressive accounting experience, with demonstrated leadership on process improvement, systems implementation, or M&A integration initiatives.
• A strong blend of public accounting and industry experience in a high‑growth environment.
• Hands‑on M&A accounting experience: purchase price allocation, and post‑acquisition integration.
• Strong working knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition, with experience applying it to SaaS or multi‑element arrangements.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional projects from scoping through implementation, with strong project management skills.

• Experience in a technology company.
• Experience leading or contributing to a close management tool rollout (Flo Qast, Black Line, or similar).
• Exposure to international entity structures and multi‑currency consolidations.
• Familiarity with SOX or SOX‑adjacent internal controls frameworks.
• Excellent communicator — able to translate complex accounting topics for non‑finance audiences and executive stakeholders.
• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable operating in ambiguity with competing priorities.
