Job description

Job Description Position Summary The Accounting Manager is responsible for supporting the stand-up of Otsuka Clinical Nutrition America (OCNA), building and performing the day-to-day accounting, payment, and reporting activities required in a developing control environment. The role will initially be focused on the review and approval of payments, vendor and documentation setup, and research supporting decisions on accounting policy, systems, and process design. It is expected to evolve into a more traditional general ledger accounting role as OCNA scales. Serves as the primary point of contact for and provides oversight of a third-party finance as a service (FaaS) provider, reviewing its work for accuracy and completeness. Operates with minimal supervision, takes on new and loosely defined projects with limited direction, and contributes substantially to the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of the general ledger, financial statements, and reports. This position sits within the shared corporate back-office accounting team that supports both Otsuka ICU Medical (OIM) and OCNA. The incumbent reports to the Controller within that shared organization and operates under common accounting policies, systems, and close calendars, while serving as the dedicated accounting resource for OCNA.

• Support intercompany transactions, cost allocations, and shared-service charges between OIM and OCNA
• Ensure an accurate and timely monthly, quarterly and year-end close, assuming increasing ownership of general ledger activities - journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations - as OCNA matures
• Assist in the daily operational requirements
• Ensure that compliance activities are performed in a timely and accurate manner
• Collaborate with business and finance managers to support overall company goals
• Monitor and analyze accounting processes and third-party service provider performance to develop more efficient procedures

• Assist in the development and implementation of new procedures and systems
• Perform and review monthly journal entries, account and vendor reconciliations
