Serve as primary liaison with external auditors - manage the technical accounting workstream, lead footnote disclosure reviews, and respond to comment letters

Oversee SOX compliance for technical accounting controls: maintain process narratives, execute walkthroughs, and coordinate control testing

Drive implementation of new FASB/IASB standards, including project scoping, cross-functional coordination, and executive communication

Lead intercompany accounting governance, including transfer pricing alignment and eliminations

Mentor and develop accounting team members on technical topics; build internal capability through training and knowledge-sharing

What You Should Have

CPA required; Big 4 public accounting experience strongly preferred

10+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in technical accounting, audit, or SEC reporting

Deep command of US GAAP; familiarity with IFRS a plus

Proven track record authoring technical accounting memos and presenting positions to auditors and senior leadership

Experience supporting M&A transactions - due diligence, purchase accounting, integration

Excellent written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complex issues for non-accounting audiences

Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-paced environment

SaaS, marketplace, or PE-backed company experience is a plus
