Job description

Riveron clients are subject to a wide variety of pressures driven by a combination of ever-changing regulatory and financial reporting requirements and the complexity of rapid growth, both organic and through acquisitions.

Riveron’s Accounting Advisory team partners with our clients and their stakeholders to bring a thoughtful and pragmatic approach to deliver tailored solutions to these unique business challenges.

Our Accounting Advisory team has extensive experience in developing and implementing effective strategies to address a broad spectrum of capital markets, technical accounting, and operational accounting needs under both US GAAP and IFRS. Our team-based approach is hands-on and practical with the goal of improving accuracy, efficiency and scalability with our solutions and each of our teams includes active senior level participation to ensure project success and deliver coaching and development to our team members. Our Accounting Advisory team provides comprehensive expertise in various areas, including Technical Accounting Standards, Capital Market Transactions, Divestitures and Carve-Outs, IPO Readiness and Execution, Business Combinations and Integration, Audit Readiness, Financial Accounting, both internal and SEC Reporting, Internal Controls, Internal Audits and Financial Process Redesign and Implementation.

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Accounting or related field of study
• Minimum 2 years of experience within an audit and/or industry accounting role
• Working knowledge of accounting standards such as GAAP, GAAS, and/or IFRS
• Experience with accounting research and writing
• You have a passion for developing and maintaining client relationships
• You enjoy working in teams to get the job done and have fun doing it
• You thrive in an ever-changing, dynamic work environment
• You readily identify problems and instinctively look for solutions
• You demonstrate analytical rigor and strong written and verbal communication skills
• You enjoy participating in internal and external company initiatives such as community service, training, recruiting, and firm events

What You'll Do

• Use accounting knowledge to advise clients as they navigate significant business transformation
• Conduct research and analysis related to complex accounting and finance challenges associated with a variety of business changes
• Partner directly with clients to support their needs and deliver high-quality projects
• Develop memos, analyses, presentations, and other client-facing deliverables
• Collaborate with senior leaders and project team members to execute workstreams and ensure deadlines are met
