Senior Accounting Manager

State

New York, NY

Specialism

Retail (General), Wholesale

Compensation

$140,000 - $155,000

We're partnering with a growing, global multi-entity consumer business to find a Senior Accounting Manager who is equal parts technical expert and proactive leader. This isn't a role for someone who waits to be told what to look for — it's for someone who can walk up to a balance sheet, spot the issues, and drive resolution!

 

What you'll take ownership of:

  • Lead and coordinate month-end close across accounting, AP, payroll, treasury, and business planning teams
  • Prepare and consolidate financial statements under US GAAP (plus exposure to ITA GAAP & IFRS), including intercompany eliminations across 20+ legal entities
  • Own balance sheet reconciliations across revenue, inventory, AR, intercompany transactions, fixed assets, and accruals — and understand how each ripples through the GL
  • Supervise a Sr. Staff Accountant (revenue / royalty accounting) and an external AR & collections team
  • Partner strategically with revenue accounting — shaping GL flow between the P&L and balance sheet, not just executing entries
  • Build and maintain SOPs, chart of accounts, and backup schedules for key P&L and BS line items
  • Identify process improvements and leverage technology where appropriate
  • Provide input on team structure, future hiring needs, and how the function should be built out

 

Requirements

  • 6+ years in general ledger / month-end close, with hands-on balance sheet fluency across multiple categories
  • Proactive, analytical thinker — identifies issues independently, coordinates with management, and runs point on resolution
  • Strong GAAP knowledge; exposure to multi-entity consolidations and intercompany eliminations
  • People leadership experience and the confidence to advise upward on team structure and resourcing
  • Advanced Excel (index-match, sum-ifs, pivot tables); ERP experience (Microsoft Dynamics or similar)

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • CPA designation
  • Background in retail, consumer product goods (CPG), manufacturing and wholesale, or multi-unit consumer businesses - particularly focused on: fixed assets, heavy accruals, and inventory accounting
  • Comfortable operating as a business partner, not just a technical accountant!

 

High-level Scope to position:

  • Revenue
  • Inventory
  • Intercompany & Consolidations
  • AR & Collections
  • GAAP Reporting
  • Month-End Close
  • Financial Statements
