Job Description & How to Apply Below

We’re partnering with a large, publicly traded global organization to identify a Senior Accounting Manager to join their corporate finance team.

This is a unique hybrid role blending core accounting, FP&A exposure, and financial systems ownership — ideal for someone who enjoys both technical accounting and driving process/system improvements.

The Opportunity

This role sits at the center of corporate finance, overseeing close, reporting, and planning activities while also serving as a key resource for financial systems and process optimization
.

You’ll work cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A, and IT, helping to improve reporting accuracy, streamline workflows, and enhance decision-making capabilities.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close for corporate cost centers
  • Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis
  • Maintain and enhance internal controls and accounting policies (GAAP)
  • Own budgeting and forecasting processes for corporate functions
  • Build financial models and scenario analysis to support leadership decisions
  • Partner closely with FP&A and operational teams
  • Act as a systems lead for financial platforms (ERP + consolidation/reporting tools)
  • Drive system enhancements, integrations, and process improvements
  • Support strategic initiatives and special projects
  • Mentor and support junior team members
What They’re Looking For
  • 6–10+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • CPA or advanced degree preferred
  • Strong foundation in corporate accounting and U.S. GAAP
  • Experience with ERP and financial reporting systems (JDE, One Stream, or similar)
  • Background in budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
  • Strong analytical mindset with ability to operate cross-functionally
  • Systems-oriented thinker who enjoys improving processes
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Blend of accounting + FP&A + systems ownership (rare combo)
  • High visibility across finance and operational leadership
  • Opportunity to drive real process and system improvements
  • Stable, global platform with strong resources and growth
  • Hybrid schedule with a collaborative team environment
