Commercial Accounting Manager

We are looking for an experienced accounting leader to oversee technical and operational accounting for warranty and service-related programs. The Commercial Accounting Manager is well suited for a hands-on, detail-oriented individual who can translate complex accounting guidance into practical processes, support cross-functional decision-making, and strengthen financial governance in a growing environment. The role will work closely with business partners across finance, operations, legal, sales, engineering, and planning to ensure accounting conclusions are accurate, timely, and scalable.

Responsibilities:

• Lead accounting oversight for warranty and service obligations, ensuring treatment aligns with applicable accounting guidance and internal policy standards.
• Partner with teams across sales, operations, legal, engineering, and FP&A to assess how program structures, service commitments, and contract terms affect financial reporting.
• Build and maintain methodologies for warranty reserves, including key assumptions, estimate models, roll-forwards, reconciliations, and management review procedures.
• Review upcoming products, services, and operational changes to identify accounting considerations early and reduce reporting risk before launch.
• Prepare and evaluate periodic accruals, adjustments, and financial statement disclosures related to warranty and service activities.
• Act as the primary accounting contact for audit matters tied to warranty and contingent liability topics, including technical documentation and support for external reviews.
• Establish scalable workflows, controls, and standard operating procedures that improve compliance, reporting quality, and readiness for a high-growth environment.
• Work with FP&A to support forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis for warranty and service costs, helping leadership understand financial trends and risks.
• Coach and develop accounting team members while promoting accountability, technical rigor, and continuous process improvement.
• Drive enhancements in Net Suite or comparable ERP tools to improve data integrity, reporting visibility, and operational insight.
