We are seeking a high-impact Accounting Manager to help lead and scale our accounting operations. This role is a key leader within the Finance function, reporting to the Controller and partnering closely with the CFO, FP&A, India finance team, external auditors, tax advisors, and operational leaders across the firm.
 
The ideal candidate combines strong GAAP technical capability with operational discipline, systems fluency, and a proactive mindset. This is not a maintenance role — it is an opportunity to build process rigor, elevate team performance, and modernize accounting operations in a fast-growing, evolving organization.
  • Financial Close & Reporting Leadership
  • Lead core components of the monthly close process to achieve a consistent 5–7 business day close.
  • Review and approve journal entries, accruals, allocations, and complex reconciliations.
  • Oversee preparation and review of monthly financial statements and management reporting packages.
  • Strengthen balance sheet governance, ensuring reconciliations are timely, well-supported, and documented.
  • Partner with FP&A to ensure alignment between actuals, forecasts, and departmental reporting.
    •  
  • Revenue Recognition & Technical Accounting
  • Support application of ASC 606 (and IFRS 15 where applicable) for professional services revenue, including T&M, fixed-fee, multi-element arrangements, and long-term contracts.
  • Review revenue postings, contract data flow, and invoicing processes within Sage Intacct and related systems.
  • Support technical accounting analyses, including capitalized development costs, lease accounting, and complex accruals.
  • Assist the Controller with accounting position papers and implementation of new standards or policies.
    •  
  • Systems, Automation & Process Improvement
  • Serve as a power user of Sage Intacct, including multi-entity structures, consolidations, FX considerations, and prepaid/fixed asset modules.
  • Partner on integrations across Intacct, Planful, Ramp, Ruddr, ADP, and banking platforms to reduce manual workflows and spreadsheet dependency.
  • Lead documentation and enhancement of SOPs across core processes (monthly close, revenue posting, cash receipts, expense coding, prepaid amortization, sales tax, etc.).
  • Identify process gaps in a scaling environment and proactively implement improvements.
    •  
  • Audit, Tax & Compliance Support
  • Manage preparation and review of audit schedules and coordinate responses to external auditors.
  • Support tax compliance by preparing schedules for federal, state, local, and international filings.
  • Support sales tax filings and multi-state compliance processes.
  • Assist with shareholder reporting, tax distribution calculations, and K-1 support.
    •  
  • Treasury & Operational Oversight
  • Oversee daily cash activity, working capital visibility, and banking transactions.
  • Review A/R aging, A/P processes, and expense management workflows.
  • Monitor recurring obligations (e.g., debt service, utilities, leases) and ensure timely processing and documentation.
    •  
  • Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Directly manage and develop Senior Accountants and Staff Accountants.
  • Establish clear accountability, performance expectations, and development pathways.
  • Foster a collaborative, inclusive team culture that values ownership, adaptability, and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with operational leaders to improve financial visibility and discipline across departments.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 7–10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including supervisory responsibility.
  • Strong GAAP expertise, including ASC 606 revenue recognition.
  • Experience in professional services, consulting, or multi-entity environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Sage Intacct (multi-entity and consolidations preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a high-growth, PE-backed organization.
  • Advanced Excel and strong systems orientation; experience with Planful, Ramp, Ruddr, ADP, and BI tools preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and executive presence.
  • A proactive, change-oriented mindset with the ability to balance strategic thinking and executional detail.
