About The Role

Jeppesen ForeFlight is redefining the future of aviation technology - equipping pilots, operators, and decision-makers with software tools to forge bold new digital paths that push past the expected. We stand with those who dream bigger, fly farther, and seek to explore the next frontier in the cockpit and operations center. We are seeking a Accountant II to primarily support our US entities on all GL accounting matters, including monthly journal entries, account reconciliations, balance sheet reviews, and external audit and other ad-hoc business requests. This is not a role for someone who maintains what exists. It is a role for someone who identifies what is missing, builds it correctly, and holds the organization accountable to it.

Key Responsibilities

Journal Entry Preparation
Partner with Accounts Payable and Financial Planning & Analysis to evaluate and record necessary month-end accruals and reclasses
Maintain documentation in such a manner that an external auditor or reviewer with no prior context could evaluate the reasonableness of the support
Hold members of the organization accountable for providing appropriate support (invoices, contracts, detailed calculations, etc.) before agreeing to record anything in the general ledger
Account Reconciliations
Prepare reconciliations for US balance sheet accounts, ensuring that all balances and reconciling items are clearly documented and supported to the standard of being easily reviewed and reperformed
Identify issues with coding and financial statement presentation and take initiative to resolve in a timely manner (i.e. by next month-end)
Critically question balances that are not supported or are significantly aged and propose resolutions to clean up
Balance Sheet Reviews
Support the Senior GL Accountant in preparation of US monthly balance sheet reviews presented to the Chief Accounting Officer, VP - Financial Planning & Analysis, Director - Corporate Accounting, and Director - Technical Accounting
Ensure significant variances are clearly explained in a way that provides valuable insight into the change in an account and ensures the accuracy of our financial reporting
Ensure all account balances can be supported and evaluated for reasonableness at an individual transaction level
Clearly address errors identified in the current month, propose the resulting action item(s) required, and resolve the issue within a timely manner (i.e. by next month-end)
Audit Support
Support the Senior GL Accountant on working with external audit teams to provide support, answer questions, and walkthrough processes
Ensure deliverables are "audit-ready" - meaning accurate and well-supported by third-party documentation (invoices, contracts) or detailed calculations
Lead remediation efforts of audit findings including "ring-fencing" identified errors and fixing processes to prevent future errors
Business Support
Participate as a subject matter expert when interfacing with cross-functional teams and Company leadership to support key business initiatives and activities
Provide insight and data to drive decision-making as the Company works to scale operations, implement new systems, and streamline processes
Be an expert on the Oracle GL and identify missing capabilities or data fields to improve visibility for management reporting or accuracy in financial reporting

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, or similar expertise.
Chartered Accountant from Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
3+ years of progressive accounting experience at a global enterprise
At least 1-2 years participation in month-end close activities, including experience recording journal entries, preparing account reconciliations and reviewing account variances
At least 1-2 years experience supporting and collaborating with US accounting teams, ideally as a Team Lead or similar capacity. This is NOT a data entry/entry-level preparer role - you will be a key member of our team and will be responsible for asking questions, understanding activity in the general ledger and explaining transactions to US management
Working knowledge of Oracle ERP (or other comparable system), subledger accounting, and GL close workflows.
Experience coordinating directly with Big 4 external auditors on audit procedures and PBC requests.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, you can clearly explain an issue and solution to upper management
Proficient computer skills, particularly with Microsoft Office
Working knowledge of US GAAP

Preferred Qualifications

Big 4 public accounting background.
Master's degree in Accounting.
Exposure to Thoma Bravo or PE-backed company reporting requirements.
Experience supporting a Quality of Earnings (QoE) process or financial due diligence in connection with an M&A transaction or exit event.

Typical Education & Experience

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, or similar expertise.

You'll Thrive Here If You…

Are a "go-getter" and can take initiative on a project without explicit direction or instructions
You want to understand the why behind the way something is done and aren't afraid to make changes when you see a better way
Are motivated to carry projects through to completion and don't get derailed with small obstacles
Can clearly articulate accounting concepts to cross-functional roles and will push back when support or rationale is not adequate for recording in the GL
Are a team player who can work well with others in a high-growth, fast-paced environment
Can manage competing priorities while delivering accurate and timely information to stakeholders
