Description

Sprout Social is looking to hire a Senior International Accountant to the Finance team.

Why join Sprout’s Finance team?

As a member of Sprout’s finance team, you’ll help better position Sprout for future growth while maintaining compliance and integrity at the highest level. No matter your role, everyone on the team has the opportunity to be a part of creating best-in-class processes and practices that can scale with the organization. Our team is unique because we value transparency and direct ownership of responsibilities—meaning, you’ll always have our trust to help contribute to our overall goals and success as a department and organization.

What you’ll do

Sprout Social’s Finance team isn’t your typical month-end close type of department. We’re building out financial systems to support every business production, so our Senior Accountant gets a granular view and understanding of how a business scales from the ground up. Although we might live in spreadsheets and provide financial information to the business, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The knowledge to gain is vast, as is the potential of our organization to continue growing. Doing our jobs effectively means we approach each interaction with confidence, each process with diligence, and our customers with care.

  • You will own the overall international accounting processes, including compliance. This includes communicating monthly accounting transactions to our third party partners and reviewing country specific financial statements.
  • You will work closely with tax, payroll, legal, and other accounting teams to ensure we meet all of our deadlines and obligations.
  • You will oversee five international audits from beginning to end working in conjunction with our third party partners
  • You will own the relationship with our third party services providers who assist with local filings and compliance.
  • You will drive process improvements to ensure we are operating efficiently and create new processes to accommodate our always changing and quickly growing business.

What you’ll bring

Since this role is about raising the bar, we’re looking for someone with experience in Finance/Accounting within a high-growth technical company (tools, best practices (US GAAP), relevant laws and regulations, etc.) and a strategic lens (connecting day-to-day work (account reconciliations, journal entries, etc.,) with bigger-picture organizational objectives. The businesses we serve rely on Sprout to create stronger relationships through social media. 

If you’re looking to grow your accounting skills with a best-in-class team who is supporting global expansion, we’d love to talk to you!

The minimum qualifications for this role include:

  • Bachelors’ Degree in Accounting/Finance or equivalent business degree
  • 3+ years of experience in International accounting or 5+ years experience in Accounting or Audit
  • Proficient in spreadsheet software
  • Proven ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and thrive in a fast-paced environment

Preferred qualifications for this role include:

  • Experience managing international accounting and compliance with a third party provider

How you’ll grow

Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:

  • Experience Sprout’s in-depth onboarding, covering everything from our company mission and values, hearing directly from executives and founders, to deep training on our products and the value that Sprout delivers to our customers
  • Make a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout’s approach to scaling key business operations to support a high-growth NASDAQ publicly traded company

Within 3 months, you’ll start hitting your stride by:

  • Be proficient in using Sprout’s accounting system (NetSuite), record journal entries, record intercompany transactions, retrieve data needed to review transactions and financial reporting
  • Have a solid understanding of the activity that exists in Sprout’s foreign subsidiaries
  • Manage all communication with third party services providers
  • Build connections with members from other teams including tax, legal, and payroll
  • Assist with ad hoc reporting and special projects as needed

Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:

  • Maintain and improve SOX compliance for accounting functions including participating in in SOX documentation and testing
  • Oversee international audit processes
  • Have your first performance conversation with your manager, where you’ll discuss your accomplishments in your role and work together to build goals for your professional growth

Within 12 months, you’ll make this role your own by:

  • Continuously evaluate and strengthen internal processes and relationships as they relate to international accounting 
  • Surprise us! Use your unique ideas and abilities to change your team in beneficial ways that we haven’t even considered yet.

Of course what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager.

Our Benefits Program

We’re proud to regularly be recognized for our team, product and culture. Our benefits program includes:

  • Insurance and benefit options that are built for both individuals and families
  • Progressive policies to support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave program 
  • High-quality and well-maintained equipment—your computer will never prevent you from doing your best
  • Wellness initiatives to ensure both health and mental well-being of our team
  • Ongoing education and development opportunities via our Grow@Sprout program and  employee-led diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
