The posting

The Role:

As the Manager of Technical Accounting, you will serve as a key subject matter expert elevating the company’s accounting rigor, ensuring compliant revenue recognition (ASC 606), and strengthening global consolidation processes. In this high-impact role, you will research and interpret GAAP guidance, evaluate non-routine transactions, and author authoritative technical accounting memos. Partnering closely with cross-functional teams across the U.S. and internationally, you will translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable business guidance for executive leadership and non-accounting stakeholders.

What You Will Do:

Technical Accounting & Policy

  • Research, interpret, and apply complex U.S. GAAP guidance, including ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 805, ASC 810, and ASC 718.
  • Author timely, defensible technical accounting memos outlining conclusions for complex or non-routine transactions.
  • Monitor emerging accounting standards and assess their potential impact on financial statements and disclosures.
  • Develop, document, and maintain corporate accounting policies in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC standards.

Revenue Recognition

  • Oversee revenue accounting across multiple revenue streams to ensure strict ASC 606 compliance.
  • Partner with Sales, Legal, and Finance during contract negotiations to evaluate terms, identify multiple performance obligations, and establish appropriate revenue treatment.
  • Strengthen internal controls, documentation, and analytics around revenue reporting.

Consolidation & Corporate Compliance

  • Manage monthly and quarterly consolidation across multiple domestic and international subsidiaries.
  • Ensure accurate accounting for intercompany eliminations, foreign currencies, equity method investments, and non-controlling interests.
  • Support financial statement disclosure processes (Form 10-Q / 10-K standards) during quarterly and annual closes.
  • Oversee specialized compliance filings, including U.S. State & Local Tax (SALT) requirements, tariff reconciliations, and corporate statistical surveys.

Controls & Audit Leadership

  • Design and implement standardized accounting processes and internal controls aligned with SOX requirements.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors during quarterly reviews and annual audits.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on finance initiatives, system enhancements (ERP), and M&A integration activities.

Basic Skills/Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; active CPA license required.
  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience; strong foundation in public accounting (Big 4 or national firm preferred).
  • Proven hands-on experience with ASC 606, ASC 842, ASC 805, ASC 810, and technical memo writing.
  • Demonstrated background managing complex multi-element revenue arrangements.
  • Exceptional ability to translate intricate GAAP standards into clear, practical guidance for non-finance business partners.

Preferred Skills/Qualifications:

  • Background in a publicly traded, high-growth, or international business environment.
  • Familiarity with SEC reporting requirements and IFRS standards.
  • Hands-on experience with mid-market ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics).

What Success Looks Like:

  • Audit Scrutiny: Defensible, well-documented technical positions that pass audit reviews cleanly.
  • No Surprises: Timely, accurate revenue recognition and global consolidation reporting.
  • Governance: A robust framework of internal controls and updated accounting policies.
  • Strategic Partnership: Recognized across Finance, Legal, and Sales as a business-minded technical advisor.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
