Role Description:
As a Senior Accountant within our international Finance team, you will take a hands-on role supporting accounting operations, month-end and year-end close, and global compliance activities. This role requires strong accounting and tax fundamentals, a high degree of autonomy, and the ability to navigate evolving requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

Operating within a fast-paced, multinational technology-enabled professional services company spanning Europe, APAC, and North America, you will coordinate US and international tax compliance activities while independently managing key accounting, close, and reporting responsibilities. 

Key Responsibilities:

General Accounting & Financial Close
  • Support and execute month-end close processes across multiple legal entities.
  • Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, reclassifications, and standard close entries.
  • Maintain clear and organized audit-ready workpapers to support financial reporting and external audits.
  • Ensure compliance with global accounting policies and internal control standards.
  • Perform monthly intercompany reconciliations and coordinate settlement with global teams.
  • Support transfer pricing policies and ensure cross-charges and allocations follow internal policy guidelines.
  • Support and actively contribute to regional and consolidated external audits.
  • Embrace and apply emerging technologies, including AI-assisted tools, to reduce manual workloads, improve data quality, and enhance effectiveness of accounting and compliance activities.

Compliance & Regulatory Oversight
  • Manage Sales & Use Tax compliance processes and Avalara administration.
  • Coordinate VAT/GST compliance activities globally, partnering with external advisors while preparing supporting schedules and documentation.
  • Maintain a global compliance calendar and monitor filing deadlines.
  • Support annual corporate income tax returns, partnering with external advisors.
  • Monitor accounting and ERP processes to ensure compliance with tax and regulatory requirements.
  • Manage registrations and communication with local jurisdictions.

Skills, Experience & Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA, ACA, CMA, or equivalent preferred.
  • 4–6 years of progressive accounting experience in a global, multi-entity environment.
  • Solid understanding of indirect tax principles — including Sales & Use Tax, VAT, and GST — with the ability to quickly grasp jurisdiction-specific requirements and ensure local filing obligations are met. Direct experience with at least one indirect tax regime required; comfort working with external advisors to navigate unfamiliar jurisdictions is essential.
  • Working knowledge of US GAAP; familiarity with IFRS a plus.
  • Knowledge of multi-currency accounting.
  • Avalara experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience working with ERP systems; Certinia experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting external audits
  • Proven ability to work effectively and independently in a remote environment, demonstrating self-direction, reliability, and clear communication without the need for close supervision.
  • Comfortable operating in a new or evolving environment; demonstrates intellectual curiosity and a genuine eagerness to learn unfamiliar processes, systems, and regulatory frameworks quickly.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to collaborate across regions and time zones.
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • High level of professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail.
