As a Senior Fixed Asset & Lease Accountant, you will be a key member of the Corporate Accounting team, with primary ownership over non-infrastructure fixed assets and the company’s real estate, operating lease, and sublease portfolio.  This role plays a critical part in ensuring accurate accounting, reporting, and disclosures across a complex and judgment-heavy area of the balance sheet.

You will independently interpret and apply accounting guidance, own end-to-end accounting processes, and partner closely with Real Estate, Technical Accounting, FP&A, and other finance stakeholders.  In addition to technical execution, this role is responsible for evaluating, improving, and implementing processes and automations to ensure scalable, reliable, and trusted financial data as the business evolves.

This is a senior individual contributor role with meaningful visibility.  You will regularly interact with accounting leadership, finance partners, and auditors, and contribute to key accounting conclusions, reporting deliverables, and process improvements.  Over time, the scope and impact of the role may expand based on demonstrated ownership and success.

  • Partner closely with the Real Estate team on lease and sublease activity and collaborate with the Technical Accounting team on complex or judgment-based matters, including cash flow classification, capex-related reporting, and areas subject to audit focus
  • Manage and validate data flows across fixed assets, lease, and general ledger systems to ensure accuracy, completeness, consistency, and strong internal controls
  • Evaluate existing processes and automations to ensure ongoing scalability, sustainability, and data integrity;  identify and implement improvements, including leveraging automation and AI-assisted tools where appropriate.
  • Independently evaluate the accounting implications of new or evolving business activities related to real estate, fixed assets, and leasing;  support internal and external audits and provide guidance or informal mentorship to team members as needed.
Requirements
  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of complex accounting areas and responsibility for delivering high-quality, timely results
  • Strong technical accounting foundation with proven ability to independently interpret, apply, and document accounting guidance related to fixed assets and leasing
  • Hands-on experience accounting for operating leases and subleases, including real estate–related arrangements in accordance with ASC 842
  • Experience supporting quarterly and annual financial reporting, including preparation of disclosures, and clear communication of accounting conclusions to auditors, leadership, and cross-functional business partners
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including experience preparing flux analyses and management-level reporting
  • High attention to detail with the ability to exercise sound judgment, manage complexity, and deliver accurate results at scale
  • Experience with Oracle Cloud or similar ERP systems and advanced Excel skills required
Preferred Qualifications
  • Professional certification or advanced technical training in accounting a plus.
  • Direct experience accounting for subleases and complex lease modifications.
  • Experience in the technology industry or other fast-scaling environments.
