We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Accountant with robust US GAAP and controllership experience to anchor our accounting function during a pivotal period of growth and transformation.
Our current team handles day-to-day transactional processing and routine bookkeeping efficiently. However, as we advance through an active audit, a major software migration, and broader process improvement initiatives, we require a senior-level technical expert. Your primary focus will not be high-volume transactional work, but rather providing the deep accounting judgment, rigorous review capabilities, and control structures needed to ensure absolute technical accuracy and audit readiness.
You will partner directly with leadership to bridge the gap between day-to-day operations and high-level strategic financial oversight.


Key Responsibilities & Challenges to Solve
Technical GAAP & Specialized Accounting
  • Fixed Assets & Capitalization: Oversee PPE accounting, refine and enforce capitalization policies, manage asset disposals, evaluate impairment considerations, and ensure the fixed asset register is flawlessly maintained.

  • Technical GAAP Review: Act as the critical second line of defense. Review complex transactions, contract assessments, and financing arrangements, making definitive accounting treatment decisions before they become audit findings.

Controllership, Month-End, & Oversight
  • Month-End Close & Accruals: Partner with leadership to strengthen accrual methodologies, strictly enforce cut-off procedures, and significantly reduce the manual adjustments identified during close.

  • Balance Sheet Reconciliations & Controls: Establish and enforce elevated reconciliation standards, design stronger review controls, and foster clear ownership across all key accounts.

  • Audit Management & Documentation: Prepare detailed audit schedules, reports, and technical documentation for review by management and external auditors, ensuring full compliance with US GAAP standards.

Process Improvement & System Transformation
  • System Migration & Workflow Design: Active partner in our upcoming software migration. Document current processes, identify internal control gaps, redesign workflows, and ensure complex accounting requirements are accurately mapped into the new system.

  • Fraud Prevention & Risk Mitigation: Continually assess financial risk, investigate discrepancies, and implement improvements to internal control systems to prevent errors and fraud.

Qualifications & Requirements
  • Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and required experience with QuickBooks Online. Experience with NetSuite is preferred, along with familiarity navigating complex accounting systems and software migrations

  • Experience: Proven experience as a Senior Accountant, Financial Auditor, or Assistant Controller with deep, hands-on expertise in US GAAP and complex capitalization policies.

  • Analytical Depth: Exceptional analytical skills with a proven ability to interpret complex financial data and apply high-level accounting judgment.

  • Execution: Strong organizational skills with a meticulous attention to detail. Ability to work independently, manage shifting timelines, and thrive in a fully remote environment.

  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of educating staff on policies and presenting clear findings to external auditors and leadership.
