About DataCamp

DataCamp's mission is to empower everyone with the data and AI skills essential for 21st-century success. By providing practical, engaging learning experiences, DataCamp equips learners and organizations of all sizes to harness the power of data and AI. As a trusted partner to over 19 million learners and 6,000+ companies, including 80% of the Fortune 1000, DataCamp is leading the charge in addressing the critical data and AI skills shortage.

About the role

We are searching for an exceptional Assistant Controller / Senior Manager of Accounting to join our Accounting team. This is a senior, high-ownership position that serves as the second CPA in the function and a direct operational partner to the VP, Finance Operations & Global Controller.
DataCamp operates across six international subsidiaries — US, UK, Belgium, Singapore, UAE, and an upcoming Portugal entity — with consolidated audited financial statements prepared under US GAAP and a multi-currency consolidation spanning six functional currencies. Our accounting stack includes NetSuite OneWorld, Zuora, Salesforce/CPQX, Ramp, Tipalti, and Avalara. The business is actively expanding its usage-based pricing model and investing heavily in AI-enabled finance operations.
This role owns the most technically demanding workstreams in the accounting function: consolidated financial statement preparation and audit management, US and foreign tax compliance (income and sales tax nexus, indirect taxes, state and local taxes (SALT)), foreign subsidiary oversight, and technical accounting research and month-end close ownership of key accounting areas such as ASC 842 – lease accounting, intercompany reconciliation, and intercompany eliminations. You will be required to coordinate closely with our external auditors (Deloitte US) and US tax advisors (Withum).
The right hire is a former Big 4 or large regional public accountant who has since built senior-level industry experience at a US SaaS or technology growth-stage startup company — someone who combines deep technical rigor with a hands-on operating style, and who is genuinely excited about using AI tools to reimagine what a lean, high-performing accounting team can do.

About you

At DataCamp, we seek individuals who embody our core values of data-driven decision-making, action, transparency, ownership, and customer focus. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-performing environment and are driven by a passion for making a meaningful impact. You're adaptable, embracing change and ambiguity with enthusiasm. Your initiative and entrepreneurial spirit push you beyond just meeting targets—you aim to understand the "why" behind our goals and take ownership to drive the business forward. You're a collaborative team player who values transparency and always seeks to improve and innovate.

Responsibilities

Financial Reporting & Audit

• Own the preparation and review of consolidated audited financial statements under US GAAP across six subsidiaries with multiple functional currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, SGD, AED).
• Serve as the primary internal liaison with Deloitte US for the annual consolidated audit and interim review procedures; own PBC delivery, audit support packages, and open item resolution.
• Prepare and review technical accounting memos for complex or non-routine transactions (revenue recognition, lease modifications, capitalized software, equity, etc.).

US Tax Compliance

• Manage and review the annual income tax provision under ASC 740 in coordination with Withum; own the provision workpapers, deferred tax schedules, and tax footnote disclosure.
• Oversee sales and use and indirect tax compliance: nexus analysis, state registrations, VDA assessments, Avalara configuration, and SALT exposure management.
• Coordinate with Withum (US tax provider) on federal and state income tax return preparation.

Foreign Subsidiary Oversight

• Own accounting oversight and management of local statutory audits for all foreign subsidiaries: UK, Belgium, Singapore, UAE (Optima), and Portugal (launch H2 2026 / H1 2027).
• Coordinate with local statutory accounting and tax firms across each jurisdiction; review local deliverables for accuracy and completeness.
• Manage NetSuite OneWorld consolidation, intercompany settlement, and foreign sub month-end close procedures.
• Lead the internal build-out of the Portugal entity accounting infrastructure in coordination with the engaged Portuguese firm.

Month-End Close & Accounting Operations

• Serve as a senior reviewer across the consolidated close; individual contributor to own a subset of high-complexity close procedures including stock-based compensation expense, lease accounting under ASC 842, payroll accounting and intercompany consolidation entries.
• Drive close timeliness and quality; partner with the Accounting Manager to hit a ≤7 business day close cycle.
• Review journal entries and account reconciliations prepared by the accounting team; coach on technical issues and elevate judgment calls.

AI Automation & Process Innovation

• Actively leverage AI tools — including Claude, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork or similar — to identify and implement automation opportunities across the accounting close cycle; serve as a hands-on practitioner, not just a sponsor.

• International Subs - Working knowledge of foreign subsidiary accounting, intercompany eliminations, and coordination with local statutory/tax advisors in at least one non-US jurisdiction. VAT/GST familiarity is a plus.
