Senior Accounting Manager

Overview

This role is a hands-on General Ledger leader responsible for keeping day-to-day accounting accurate and on schedule while the accounting leadership team focuses on a major ERP implementation. You will prepare journal entries and reconciliations yourself, review the work of senior accountants and offshore resources, and help resolve recurring issues that surface during close.

Responsibilities

• Lead month-end close for cash, spend and expense, corporate card, accruals, and prepaids, ensuring entries are accurate and booked on time in NetSuite.
• Prepare and review bank, credit card, and prepaid reconciliations, using flux analysis to identify and resolve variances.
• Own prepaid and accrual cycles, including amortization schedules, period-over-period review, reversals, and workpapers supporting a clean audit trail.
• Review senior accountant and offshore work, set clear expectations, and coach the team to ensure consistent, accurate output.
• Identify process breakdowns, system sync issues, and recurring errors across cash and expense workflows; partner with FP&A and other accounting teams to fix root causes.
