Accounting Manager

Make Your Mark:
We are seeking a highly skilled, analytical, and self-motivated Accounting Manager (Individual Contributor) to join our General Ledger team. In this senior individual contributor role, you will take direct ownership of complex accounting operations, key month-end close processes, and technical reconciliations while driving continuous process optimization and leveraging modern finance automation tools.

This position is ideal for an experienced accounting professional who thrives on technical execution, problem-solving, and cross‑functional collaboration without the administrative duties of direct people management. You will serve as a subject matter expert across key general ledger functions, partner closely with cross‑functional teams, and actively support our finance transformation and AI integration initiatives.

Lead end-to-end month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close activities for assigned functional areas, ensuring financial records are accurate, timely, and fully compliant with US GAAP. Prepare and post complex journal entries, intercompany transactions, accrued liabilities, and equity/capitalized items. Perform detailed balance sheet account reconciliations, variance analyses, and flux explanations (P&L and Balance Sheet) to support FP&A and executive reporting.

Actively identify opportunities to streamline accounting workflows, eliminate manual touchpoints, and shorten the close cycle. Become a super‑user and internal champion of Black Line’s own product suite, leveraging our platform to its fullest potential. Participate in testing, implementing, and adopting AI‑driven accounting tools, intelligent reconciliations, automated variance analysis, and data warehouse reporting features. Serve as a subject matter expert and informal mentor for junior staff and new hires within the accounting team, providing guidance on best practices for accounting processes and use of the Black Line platform.

Act as a key accounting partner to G&A functions (FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Legal, HR, IT) and operational business units across the company. Provide guidance on accounting implications for business initiatives, system integrations, and operational process changes.

Maintain strong internal controls and ensure strict compliance with SOX requirements and corporate accounting policies. Prepare audit schedules, gather documentation, and interface directly with internal and external auditors during quarterly reviews and annual audits.

Assist in researching, documenting, and implementing accounting policies for complex or non‑standard transactions. Lead special accounting initiatives, system upgrade user‑acceptance testing (UAT), and data reporting projects as assigned.
