This newly created role is based in Raleigh, NC and is critical to sustaining a sound intercompany model, maintaining rigorous internal controls, and enabling future growth.

• Develop and submit bi-weekly cash forecasts and collaborate with FP&A on entity-level balance sheet planning
• Interpret and enforce local policies while balancing practical operations with governance expectations
• Lead approval and documentation of new business initiatives (BAP/Memo process) in coordination with global teams
• Maintain banking authorizations and contribute to evolving ESG and global compliance initiatives

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• CPA or equivalent accounting designation (U.S. or international)
• 3–5+ years in accounting, audit, or compliance with exposure to multi-entity or cross-border structures
• Audit background required;
  Big 4 experience preferred
• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables) and familiarity with SAP or comparable ERP systems
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently, educate stakeholders, and navigate controls environments

Additional Information:

• Hybrid schedule based in Raleigh, NC
• U.S. travel required for walkthroughs and inventory counts (frequency evolving due to recent acquisition)
• Corporate credit card provided for travel and business expenses
• Culture emphasizes accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

This role is ideal for a CPA with a control-oriented mindset who thrives on structure, risk mitigation, and cross-functional visibility. If you bring both technical accounting acumen and the confidence to guide internal compliance strategy, we want to connect.
