Overview

A Senior Technical Accountant position is available within the Accounting Policy & Controls team. This role focuses on applying U.S. GAAP to complex, non-routine transactions and influencing accounting decisions across the organization. The work involves research, judgment, and collaboration rather than routine accounting tasks.

Responsibilities

  • Research and interpret U.S. GAAP, including revenue recognition and leases, to support complex accounting decisions
  • Analyze non-routine transactions and determine appropriate accounting treatment
  • Draft and contribute to technical accounting memos and formal documentation
  • Collaborate with finance, legal, tax, and other teams to assess accounting implications of new initiatives
  • Serve as a key contact during external audits, coordinating requests and supporting documentation
  • Support financial reporting, including disclosures and technical accounting positions
  • Develop and maintain accounting policies to ensure consistent application
  • Identify control gaps and help strengthen accounting processes and frameworks

Requirements

  • CPA qualification and a degree in Accounting
  • 5–7 years of experience, including at least 3 years in technical accounting, accounting policy, or financial reporting
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, particularly ASC 606 and ASC 842
  • Proven experience applying accounting standards to complex or non-routine transactions
  • Experience drafting or significantly contributing to technical accounting memos or formal documentation
  • Career progression from audit or operational accounting into technical accounting, policy, or advisory roles
  • Strong analytical skills and sound professional judgment
  • Effective communication skills with the ability to translate technical guidance into clear recommendations
  • Self-starter comfortable working autonomously in an unstructured environment

Note: This role requires hands-on experience with complex U.S. GAAP applications, not routine month-end close, journal entries, or audit delivery.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Expected salary range: US $90,000–$110,000 per year (subject to adjustment based on experience, education, location, and other factors)
  • Eligibility for an annual incentive bonus
  • 12% employer contribution to a 401(k) plan
  • Comprehensive medical benefits package
