About The Role

The Accounting Manager, Corporate Accounting prepares OneEnergy's consolidated financial statements, leads technical accounting analyses and documentation, and manages audit and tax coordination for the corporate organization.

Technical Accounting

• Research and prepare technical accounting memos for complex and emerging matters, including leases, consolidation, revenue, equity transactions, capitalization, and impairment, for review by the Senior Manager.
• Serve as a technical partner to operational teams, reviewing contracts and new transactions and translating conclusions into executable accounting, reporting, and control requirements.
• Monitor accounting guidance, assess its impact, and support implementation of new or updated policies.

Audit Coordination

• Manage coordination of the annual financial statement audit, including the timeline, PBC list, supporting schedules, and cross-functional responses.
• Serve as day-to-day contact for external auditors, escalating significant issues and driving timely resolution of findings and proposed adjustments.

Tax Coordination

• Coordinate with external tax advisors on federal, state, local, and partnership tax matters, preparing the records, schedules, and analyses they require.
• Maintain the tax compliance calendar and coordinate, prepare, or review filings, including income, property, sales and use, and other applicable taxes.
• Ensure tax balances and implications are appropriately reflected in the financial statements.

• Support the design and maintenance of the internal control matrix, including risk and control mapping for financial reporting, intercompany, technical accounting, audit, and tax processes.
• Perform and evidence key controls, support periodic testing and remediation, and recommend control and process improvements.

Intercompany Accounting

• Design, document, and implement a scalable intercompany process, including entity mapping, charge and allocation methodologies, settlement cadence, and elimination procedures.
• Own monthly intercompany reconciliations and eliminations, resolving differences timely and at the source.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner across Accounting, Finance, Systems, Legal, and business teams, clearly articulating the accounting, control, and financial statement impacts of decisions.
