As the Accounting Manager, your primary responsibility is the management and leadership of the Center of Excellence (CoE). This involves overseeing daily activities, deliverables, and associated initiatives. The role demands close collaboration with key leaders within the CoE and other Global Accounting teams to establish processes that ensure efficient and effective controls are in place. These controls cover areas such as quality balance sheet reconciliations and accurate documentation of standard operating procedures. The goal is to enhance and standardize the reconciliation process across the enterprise, ensuring compliance with existing policies.
In this role, you'll be tasked with leading a virtual accounting team comprising both onshore and offshore resources. You'll operate with a high degree of independence while collaborating with other CoE management members. Efficiency and accuracy are crucial in managing complex balance sheet reconciliations. You'll be responsible for gathering and analyzing data, identifying discrepancies, and ensuring resolutions in alignment with reconciliation requirements. You'll maintain strict adherence to reconciliation policies and continuously monitor and report on a reconciliation dashboard to track issues and drive resolution, aiming for ongoing improvements in accuracy and quality.
The role also requires supporting audits, ensuring SOX compliance, coordinating with stakeholders for process adherence, managing projects such as system integrations, and providing financial analysis to influence decision-making within Finance leadership. You must meet strict timelines for recurring tasks, like month-end close activities, while developing a strong understanding of departmental systems.
The position requires a BA or BS in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent experience, with a CPA strongly preferred. Candidates should have 5 years of related general accounting experience, preferably in insurance, and at least four years of supervisory experience. Proficiency in reconciliation tools like Blackline, Oracle ERP, and ARC, as well as knowledge of US GAAP, STAT, and internal controls, is advantageous. Familiarity with progressive accounting practices, Microsoft Office Suite, and regulatory requirements such as SOX is desirable. The role demands problem-solving, multitasking, and the ability to work under pressure, especially during critical periods requiring extended hours.
The pay range for this position is $84,100 to $140,500, considering various factors like experience, location, and potential for salary growth within the role.
