Key Responsibilities:

  • Support and manage the monthly close process (3-4 day final reporting timeline)

General Accounting Operations:

  • Provide technical accounting guidance and respond to internal inquiries
Compliance & Audit:
  • Support UK SOX in-scope requirements by gathering documentation and reviewing support (procedures provided; international experience not required)
  • Perform light internal audit-related work
  • Systems & ERP: Work within a large ERP environment (currently AS400/LX; future migration to D365 anticipated)

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience (5+ years may be considered in exceptional cases)
  • Prior experience at the Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller level
  • Must be hands-on and comfortable performing transactional accounting work
  • Strong experience with large ERP systems (AS400/LX experience highly preferred)
  • Advanced Excel skills (PivotTables, VLOOKUP, data manipulation)
  • Experience with Microsoft Query and/or Power BI
  • Strong understanding of close processes and general ledger accounting
  • Ability to operate independently and confidently answer accounting questions
