The posting

We are looking for a Senior Accountant to join our Global Record to Report (RTR) team. Our close is evolving fast, and we’re looking for someone who combines strong accounting judgment with curiosity about how AI and automation can change how we work, and who wants to help build that future rather than wait for it.

As a Senior Accountant on the General Ledger team, you will own key close processes end to end, from preparation and analysis to explaining results to partners across Finance. You will use data and AI tools to remove manual work, spend more of your time on review and insight, and help shape how a lean, global team scales.

What You'll Do

  • Own the monthly and quarterly close for your areas, delivering accurate IFRS results and clear, insight-driven flux commentary
  • Use AI tools and data (BigQuery, SQL, LLM-based assistants) to automate preparation, speed up analysis, and redirect time toward review and judgment
  • Design, build, and maintain lightweight automations and AI-assisted workflows, and partner with Financial Engineering on larger system changes
  • Make sure automated and AI-assisted processes stay accurate, explainable, and well-controlled, including SOX controls and audit evidence
  • Act as a go-to partner for FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Procurement, AP, and business teams, turning ad hoc requests into scalable, self-serve solutions
  • Support external and internal audits for your areas and keep RTR processes and documentation current
  • Share knowledge and coach teammates on both accounting and new ways of working

Who You Are

  • You have 4+ years of month-end close or general ledger experience at a global, publicly traded company, with solid IFRS knowledge
  • You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; a CPA or equivalent is a plus
  • You bring strong accounting judgment and can research and resolve accounting questions independently
  • You’re comfortable working directly with data; experience with SQL and BigQuery is strongly preferred, or you have a clear willingness to learn quickly
  • You have hands-on experience using AI tools to improve your work, or strong curiosity to start, plus the judgment to know when not to trust the output
  • You have an automation mindset: you notice repetitive work and want to remove it
  • You understand upstream and downstream processes (AP, Procurement, Treasury) and how they affect the general ledger
  • You have experience with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred; Oracle or SAP also relevant)
  • You’re a clear communicator who can explain accounting and data topics to non-specialists and keep priorities on track during close

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.
