Role Summary

We are seeking a Manager, Financial Reporting & Audits to lead audits and control assessments at the vital intersection of business processes and technology. This role requires a professional who can bridge the gap between technical accounting and IT-driven initiatives. You will be responsible for evaluating the reasonableness of external audit requests and collaborating across various global teams to ensure seamless execution. While traditional SOX responsibilities—such as leading walkthroughs, identifying control gaps, and ensuring high-quality documentation—are part of the core, an interest in IT-focused initiatives is highly valued.

• Process Improvement: Proactively identify and recommend enhancements to boost financial operating efficiency and control sufficiency end-to-end.

What You Will Bring

• Experience: 4+ years of progressive experience within the Big Four or a public company’s financial reporting department.
• Accounting Expertise: Practical experience applying US GAAP, ideally within the tech or insurance services sectors.
• Consolidation Knowledge: A solid understanding of consolidation and intercompany elimination processes within global, multi-entity organizations.
• Technical Savvy: Prior experience with NetSuite and advanced reporting tools is preferred.
• Project Leadership: A strong individual contributor capable of leading complex projects independently from start to finish.

Proficiencies & Attributes
