About the role

Accounting Manager role focused on leading intercompany and intracompany accounting, with emphasis on build rather than maintain, for a fast-growing defense technology company preparing for potential IPO.

Responsibilities

  • Intercompany & Intracompany Accounting: Own end-to-end intercompany and intracompany accounting — designing and maintaining the intercompany framework, processing intercompany and intracompany transactions, reconciling balances, and driving timely elimination entries across all entities and business units.
  • Passdown & Allocation: Own the methodology and execution of corporate cost passdowns, intracompany allocations, shared-service allocations, and management fee structures, ensuring they are defensible, well-documented, and compliant with government contracting requirements (e.g., CAS/FAR).
  • Entity Management: Maintain the legal entity structure in the ERP and ensure new entities are set up with proper charts of accounts, intercompany agreements, and elimination hierarchies.
  • Financial Close: Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close for intercompany and intracompany accounts, delivering journal entries, accruals, and flux analysis on the close calendar.
  • Reporting & Disclosures: Prepare and review consolidation schedules, intercompany elimination entries, and related footnotes and disclosures for financial reporting.
  • Reconciliations: Review balance sheet reconciliations for intercompany and intracompany accounts on a timely basis, and research and resolve variances as needed.
  • Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accountants, setting priorities, reviewing work, and building bench strength as the intercompany portfolio grows.
  • Systems & Process Improvement: Help implement new systems or improve efficiencies with current systems to support continued company and team growth — including intercompany billing platforms and consolidation tools.
  • SOX Readiness: Help build and maintain SOX-ready process documentation and key controls over intercompany transactions, intracompany allocations, and eliminations in support of public company readiness.
  • Audit Support: Serve as the primary owner of external audit requests covering intercompany and intracompany accounts, including PBC schedules, walkthroughs, and technical accounting memos.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with FP&A, Tax, Treasury, and Legal on transfer pricing, entity rationalization, and intercompany agreements.
  • Mindset: No job too small mentality, be curious and helpful to others.

Qualifications

  • Intercompany & Consolidations: Experience managing or overseeing multi-entity intercompany accounting and consolidation processes is required.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in accounting or related field.
  • Experience: 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including direct people management experience.
  • Technical Accounting: Working knowledge of consolidation standards — ASC 810 (consolidations) and intercompany elimination frameworks.
  • Systems & Rigor: Highly detail-oriented with strong experience in Excel, ERP systems, and US GAAP.
  • Prioritization: Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a high-growth organization.
  • Execution & Strategic Vision: Able to get your hands dirty to drive organizational change while also maintaining an ability to manage against strategic priorities and reporting.
