Senior Manager, Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting

Role Scope

• Own technical accounting positions across revenue recognition, leases, project finance, and equity, writing the memos that document how the company accounts for first-of-a-kind data center transactions.
• Run the financial reporting close and produce accurate financial statements on a fast cycle as the company scales toward audit and public-company readiness.
• Stand up technical accounting policies and controls from the ground up on a lean finance stack (NetSuite, Zip, Shareworks, Pigment).
• Manage the external audit relationship, preparing the support and positions that let auditors sign off without surprises.
• Partner with strategic finance, legal, and commercial teams to structure and account for complex, high-value transactions correctly the first time.

Requirements

• Written technical accounting memos on complex areas such as revenue recognition, leases, business combinations, or equity, and they held up under audit scrutiny.
• Owned a financial reporting close and produced GAAP financial statements on a demanding timeline.
• Built accounting policies, processes, or controls from scratch rather than maintaining a mature function.
• Managed external auditors through a full audit and resolved contentious positions without the timeline blowing up.
• Worked through the accounting for genuinely novel or complex transactions where the precedent was thin.
• Explain technical accounting conclusions clearly enough that non-accountants can act on them.

Nice-to-Haves

• CPA.
• Big Four technical accounting or national-office background.
• Capital-intensive industry experience (data centers, energy, real estate, infrastructure).
• NetSuite or comparable ERP implementation.
• Pre-IPO or audit-readiness experience.
