CFS
Rosemont, IL
SEC Reporting Manager
Salary: $120,000 – $150,000
Location: Rosemont - Hybrid
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• High‑visibility SEC Reporting Manager role with significant exposure to the CAO, Segment CFOs, Controllers, VP of IR, VP of Tax, VP of FP&A, and Treasury leadership
• Opportunity to help drive reporting transformation, new policy implementation, and continuous process improvement
• Highly collaborative culture that values curiosity, high energy, and cross‑functional partnership
• Gain deep exposure to business unit finance, technical accounting, M&A, and emerging accounting standards
• Strong benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid leaves, PTO, and tuition assistance
Key Responsibilities for the SEC Reporting Manager:
• Lead preparation, drafting, and review of the company’s quarterly and annual SEC filings in partnership with the external reporting team
• Partner with segment and business unit teams to resolve technical accounting matters and ensure proper application of U.S. GAAP
• Review financial statement footnote disclosures, tie‑outs, and supporting documentation
• Oversee segment‑level financial statement analysis to identify unusual trends and ensure alignment with GAAP and corporate policies
• Support M&A transactions including opening balance sheet reviews, purchase accounting, valuation coordination, and integration activities
• Conduct and document annual goodwill, reporting unit, and segment‑level impairment assessments
• Coordinate quarterly “roundtable” communication with segment finance, treasury, tax, and internal audit
• Drive implementation of new accounting standards, policies, and disclosures
• Own and strengthen disclosure controls and support internal control assessments
• Identify and implement opportunities to streamline the quarterly reporting process, enhance automation, and improve reporting cycle times
• Monitor evolving SEC and financial reporting trends; perform benchmarking analyses to ensure transparent, high‑quality reporting
Qualifications for the SEC Reporting Manager:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; Master’s in Accounting or MBA strongly preferred
• CPA strongly preferred
• 7–10 years of progressive accounting experience
• Large public accounting or large U.S. public company experience preferred
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC rules with hands‑on reporting experience
• High‑energy, curious, and collaborative professional with a continuous improvement mindset
• Advanced proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word; experience with Workiva, Oracle ERP, Hyperion, or OneStream a plus
• Manufacturing industry experience
This is an exciting opportunity for an SEC Reporting Manager seeking high visibility, technical complexity, leadership exposure, and the ability to influence reporting and accounting processes across a global industrial leader.
