This role owns end-to-end accounting for Kelly's non-US entities across three regional teams - APAC (Malaysia, Singapore, Pakistan, India, Australia), EMEA (UK & Ireland, Germany & Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Sweden, Portugal, Italy), and Mexico - including local GAAP compliance, statutory reporting, tax filings, local to US GAAP conversion, and integration with the corporate consolidation.
The ideal candidate brings deep multi-jurisdictional accounting experience, direct familiarity with statutory reporting requirements across EMEA, APAC, and Latin America, comfort operating across multiple ERPs (People Soft, Workday, D365, Accpac/Sage) and time zones, and demonstrated ability to lead delivery-model changes at scale.

+ Oversee FX revaluation, cash reporting, and ERP data-model maintenance across D365 (EMEA), Accpac/Sage (APAC), and the local Mexico accounting system.
+ Direct intercompany accounting - IC invoices, US royalty entries, chargebacks - with balance confirmations and settlements against counterpart entities.
+ Own the local reconciliation portfolio: bank, balance sheet, AP/AR aging, intercompany, and statutory-to-US-GAAP reconciliations.
** 2. Statutory & Local-GAAP Compliance*
* + Own local GAAP compliance and statutory reporting across all non-US jurisdictions.
+ EMEA: VAT/Intervat submissions, statutory payroll and social security, local statutory balance-sheet reporting under local GAAP, tax provisions, and statutory adjustments in coordination with local tax advisors.
+ Mexico: IVA (VAT), ISR (income tax), CFDI electronic invoicing, PTU (profit sharing), IMSS/INFONAVIT social security, withholding entries and filings.
+ APAC: GST, TDS, payroll tax, and country-specific statutory filings.
+ Coordinate statutory audits and quarterly reviews with regional external auditors - providing documentation and support.
+ Ensure statutory accounts are filed on time in each jurisdiction and audit documentation is prepared for local auditors.
** 3. Local-to-US GAAP Reconciliation & Reporting Integration*
* + Oversee regional financial reporting - variance analysis, local GAAP to US GAAP reconciliation, statutory returns and reports, and alignment with corporate management reporting.
+ Provide statutory footnote inputs to Technical Accounting & External Reporting for consolidated disclosures.
+ Coordinate with Corporate Consolidations & Controls team on close-calendar integration, FX/CTA, and intercompany governance.
+ Manage the review of top-level P&L by cost center and entity, verifying JE completeness and cut-off, and confirming TM1 results match local accounting systems.
** 4. Regional Team Leadership & Local Business Partnership*
* + Lead a small team of regional managers, each accountable for their region's close, statutory compliance, and local audit relationships.
