What you'll be responsible for

As a Senior Accountant on our Regulatory Reporting team, you will own end-to-end accounting and reporting for assigned entities and cost areas, including close, reporting, and controls. You will take full ownership of the month-end close process related to your areas, including statutory and regulatory reporting requirements. Your work will support internal and external reporting, inform business decisions, and improve operational efficiency through automation, AI-powered tools, and cross-functional collaboration. This is a role for someone highly organized, meticulous, deadline-conscious, and accountable — you keep complex, multi-entity workstreams accurate and audit-ready without being asked twice.

• Perform month-end close procedures, including but not limited to preparing management accounts, posting period-end journal entries, performing reconciliations, and reviewing auto-matched transactions within the ERP system.

• Analyze fluctuations in key balance sheet and P&L accounts to ensure data accuracy and completeness.

• Prepare support for SEC disclosures and other external financial reporting.

• Review agreements to ensure accounting complies with U.S. GAAP, IFRS, and any local reporting requirements.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to identify and implement process improvements, including automation and AI-based enhancements.

• Own and continuously improve control design and execution, including documentation, testing readiness, and identification of control gaps in line with ICFR/SOX expectations.

• Take ownership of SOX, audit, and tax compliance efforts by maintaining detailed documentation, proactively managing requests, and influencing outcomes where appropriate.

• Contribute to special projects and ad hoc accounting analyses as needed.

• Leverage AI tools and automation platforms to reduce manual processes, improve reporting quality, and increase efficiency in close and reconciliation workflows.
