Job description

The Opportunity

Unity's Accounting team is looking for an Accounting Manager to own leases and capital assets — one of the most technical corners of our close, and one that touches nearly every office we operate.

You will own ASC 842 lease accounting for a global real estate portfolio, along with fixed assets, construction in progress and capitalized software. That means real technical work rather than routine processing: impairments and office closures, lease modifications and terminations, asset retirement obligations, subleases, and the capitalization decisions behind a software portfolio spanning three business units. Your numbers flow straight into our 10-Q and 10-K disclosures.

You will lead a team of analysts based in Bangalore and partner daily with Technical Accounting, SEC Reporting, FP&A, Real Estate & Workplace, AP and IT, as well as our external auditors. You will report to the Senior Manager, Accounting, based in the US.

This position requires working during late evening hours from 2 PM to 11 PM (IST), with a 1-hour lunch break included. Are you available to work during these Non‑Shift hours?

What You'll Be Doing

• Own ASC 842 accounting for Unity's global lease portfolio end to end — new leases, modifications, terminations, subleases, impairments and asset retirement obligations — including the monthly close entries and reconciliations.
• Own fixed assets and capitalized software: additions, transfers, disposals, CWIP, depreciation and amortization, quarterly impairment reviews, and the rollforwards that support our PP&E and software footnotes.
• Review the work of a team of analysts, and coach them — you will be the reviewer on the workpapers, not the preparer.
• Research technical accounting questions and write the memos that support our positions, then carry those positions through internal and external audit and SOX testing.
• Lead process improvement and automation across your areas, from standardizing SOPs to replacing manual rollforwards with system‑driven reporting.

What We're Looking For

• Hands‑on ASC 842 lease accounting across a multi‑entity, multi‑currency portfolio, including modifications, terminations, subleases and impairment.
• Fixed asset and capital project accounting: rollforward, CWIP, depreciation, disposals and impairment.
• Capitalized software accounting under ASC 350‑40 and/or ASC 985‑20.
• Ownership of a monthly and quarterly close cycle in a public‑company control environment, including SOX key controls and IPE documentation.
• Direct experience managing and reviewing the work of other accountants, and working with external auditors on workpapers and walkthroughs.

You Might Also Have

• Experience with Workday Financials and ProLease (or another dedicated lease system such as Visual Lease or CoStar).
• SEC reporting experience supporting 10‑Q and 10‑K footnote deliverables.
• A track record of automating recurring accounting workpapers or building reporting that removed manual effort.
• Chartered Accountant or CPA.
• Experience working with globally distributed teams and stakeholders across US, EMEA and APAC time zones.

Additional Information

• Relocation support is not available for this position.
• International relocation support is not available for this position.
• Work visa/immigration sponsorship is not available for this position.
