Senior Accounting Manager
About the role
About the role
We are a Global SaaS business with a growing US presence, and we’re hiring the first member of our US financial control team. This is a high-trust role for someone who’s confident running the US accounting function end-to-end and who brings solutions, not just problems, to the table.
You’ll be the go-to person for everything accounting-related on the US side - from month-end close through to audit, tax, and payroll. You’ll partner closely with our existing US FP&A function and the established global finance team in the UK. The role will suit an individual who can take ownership of issues as they arise: you will be able to investigate issues and develop a clear point of view, providing solutions to the matter in question - we’re after a thoughtful operator who frames decisions well so we can move quickly together.
What you’ll own
- Month-end close: Run the full close process for the US & Canadian entities, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and intercompany transactions with the group. Deliver clean, timely numbers each month in line with the global close timetable.
- Payroll: Manage end-to-end US & Canadian payroll processing via Rippling, including new hire setup, benefits deductions, multi-state withholding, and year-end W-2 reporting.
- Sales tax: Own multi-state sales tax compliance via Anrok, including nexus monitoring, registrations, return review, and filings.
- Corporate tax: Act as the primary point of contact for our external tax preparers on federal and state corporate income tax returns, estimated payments, and any state/local filings.
- Audit: Lead the US side of the annual audit, preparing schedules, responding to auditor requests, and ensuring a smooth, well-organised process.
- Revenue recognition: Apply ASC 606 to our SaaS revenue streams, document accounting positions, and ensure consistent treatment across the business.
- Other compliance: Manage 1099 reporting, state annual filings, business licences, and ad-hoc regulatory matters.
- Partnership with FP&A: Provide timely, accurate actuals and supporting analysis to our US FP&A team to support budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
