About the Role

Are you an accounting leader who thrives on complexity and loves to build? We are a high-growth business operating a lean, fast-moving team across a truly global footprint (North America, EMEA, and APAC). We aren't just looking for someone to maintain the status quo-we need an Accounting Manager who views accounting as their own "business unit" and loves designing scalable processes that last Year-Over-Year.

If you are a master of multi-entity global consolidations, a champion of AI and automation, and a dedicated people manager, this is your next career-defining move.

What You'll Do (The Impact You'll Make)

• Own the Global Matrix: Lead end-to-end accounting processes (AP, AR, GL, month-end close, and financial reporting) across multiple global entities. You will ensure seamless multi-currency and multi-entity consolidations under GAAP/IFRS.
• Build to Scale: We are growing fast. You will diagnose inefficiencies, drive cross-functional process improvements, and leverage modern automations and AI tools to build a scalable infrastructure that supports future growth.
• Lead & Mentor: Champion a high-performing, remote global team of accountants and analysts, fostering an "ownership mindset" and mentoring them to their highest potential.
• Audit & Compliance: Act as the primary liaison for external auditors, managing the documentation and audit process with full accountability.

What We Are Looking For

The Must-Haves:

• Global Entity Experience: You must have proven experience managing accounting for multi-entity operations spanning North America, EMEA, and/or APAC. You understand the nuances of cross-border accounting, foreign exchange, and global tax compliance support.
• The "Builder" Mindset: Experience in a lean team within a high-growth business. You know how to build processes from scratch that don't just solve today's problem but scale for the future.
• People Leadership: 3+ years of experience directly managing or leading teams, with a knack for remote, cross-cultural stewardship.
• Progressive Experience: 5-8+ years of total accounting experience (CPA or equivalent preferred).
• Tech-Savvy: Advanced Excel skills and deep proficiency with ERP systems, with an eye for integrating AI and automation into daily workflows.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with Workday Financials is a huge plus!

Core Competencies for Success

• Strategic Ownership: You don't wait for direction. You translate high-level company goals into tactical accounting actions.
• Stakeholder Influence: You can easily partner with, influence, and communicate financial realities to cross-functional global stakeholders.
• Innovation-Driven: You actively look for ways to do things faster, smarter, and more accurately using technology.

Compensation:

• $100,000 - $150,000 USD
• $120,000 - $165,000 CAD
