We are seeking a Senior Accountant to join our Finance team in New York. You'll work directly with the Finance Director, with meaningful exposure to complex accounting across our US, UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, and India entities. The role is a strong fit for someone who wants end-to-end ownership of the monthly close, with real influence over the systems, controls, and processes behind it. We're looking for someone who has either worked at a Big Four firm or has direct experience engaging with one, on accounting and audit matters, ideally paired with experience in a leaner, more operational environment where they've owned the process end to end.

What You'll Do

• Own the full monthly close cycle — journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and reporting across multiple entities
• Prepare financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and serve as the primary contact for our external auditors
• Prepare and maintain intercompany schedules, eliminations, and reconciliations across US, Ireland, Luxembourg, UK, and India entities
• Handle multi-currency accounting (USD, EUR, GBP, INR) including FX revaluation and translation
• Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable processes, including aging, vendor management, and collections follow-up where needed
• Prepare technical accounting memos on areas such as lease accounting, business combinations, and revenue recognition
• Maintain and improve internal controls; proactively identify and remediate control gaps
• Manage day-to-day operations in NetSuite, including coding, approvals, and reporting, support ongoing optimization of the platform
• Process and reconcile corporate card activity and expense reporting through Ramp
• Support transfer pricing documentation and intercompany recharges in coordination with external advisors
• Support statutory reporting and local compliance filings across jurisdictions in partnership with regional advisors

What We're Looking For

• Active CPA license with 8+ years of experience
• Direct experience on the company side of an external audit — managing auditor relationships and preparing audit-ready financial statements
• Solid command of US GAAP, including multi-entity consolidation and foreign currency accounting
• Comfortable operating in a lean team where you'll be building process, not just following it
• Strong written communication, with the ability to document accounting positions and draft technical memos
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite; familiarity with Ramp or similar expense management platforms a plus

What Success Looks Like

• 90 days — Close cycle is running on time with clean reconciliations across all entities. You're the single point of contact for external auditors. You understand how the five entities fit together and aren't waiting to be told what needs to happen next.
• 6 months — You've identified at least one controls or process gap and driven the fix. Intercompany schedules are accurate, transfer pricing recharges are documented, and NetSuite is working the way it should. The Finance Director isn't backstopping things you own.
• 1 year — You bring answers, not questions. Fluent across all jurisdictions, comfortable coordinating with regional advisors, and the annual audit comes and goes without drama. The team trusts your numbers and you've made the function meaningfully better than you found it.
