Senior Accountant, Intercompany and Consolidations

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

This is a preparer's role with a designer's mandate. You will run the multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and intercompany close in our system of record, and you will own the frameworks that make that close repeatable: elimination logic, cost-allocation models, transaction-flow documentation, and the automation that lets all of it scale as entities and acquisitions are added. The people who do well here can take a complex, ambiguous structure, distill it into something clear, and then build it so it runs the same way every month without them.

What it asks for · 5

• Hands-on experience preparing a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation close in an ERP, including intercompany eliminations and currency translation
• Working knowledge of US GAAP for consolidations, intercompany transactions, and foreign currency including capital funding, loan arrangements and asset transfers.
• Experience building or materially redesigning an accounting process, model, or reconciliation — not only operating one that already existed
• Advanced spreadsheet and data-handling skills, with the ability to work confidently in large, multi-entity datasets
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Also a plus

• CPA, ACA, or equivalent professional accounting qualification
• Workday Financials or Workday Financial Consolidation experience, or experience implementing or configuring a consolidation module on another major ERP
• Experience operationalizing and automating transfer pricing or intercompany service agreements from the accounting side
• Exposure to FX accounting and intercompany settlement processes in partnership with Treasury
• Experience integrating acquired entities into a group close
• Experience automating close processes through scripting, reporting tools, or AI-assisted tooling
• Combination of public accounting background and high-growth or multi-entity operating experience
• Comfortable operating lean, resolving ambiguity into documented process, and explaining complex structures simply to finance and non-finance partners

What the job covers

• Prepare and own the monthly and quarterly consolidation close in Workday, including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation, and consolidated reconciliations
• Own the intercompany sub-ledger end to end: transaction matching, settlement, balance confirmations, and resolution of out-of-balance positions across entities
• Design and maintain the cost-allocation model for shared costs, including pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of flows, and build it to be automatable and defensible
• Document intercompany transaction flows and maintain the single source of truth for entity structure, agreements, and elimination logic
• Partner with the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany to design the target operating model for the pillar, then build and codify it through operating procedures and controls
• Operationalize transfer-pricing arrangements with Tax and support FX and intercompany settlement processes with Treasury
• Integrate newly acquired entities into the consolidation and intercompany framework, working alongside M&A Finance Integration
• Identify and build automation across the consolidation and intercompany close — in Workday, in reporting tools, and with AI-assisted tooling such as Claude — with a bias toward removing manual work for good
• Prepare consolidation and intercompany audit support and serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors on this area, both local and consolidated
• Support technical accounting analysis on consolidation matters, including foreign currency and intercompany arrangements

Degree language

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
