Job summary

Talos seeks a Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Manager to own financial reporting and audits across our multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group. You’ll translate products and revenue streams—from SaaS subscriptions to digital asset trading—into sound accounting positions and scalable processes.

This hands-on role requires first-principles thinking where no playbook exists, delivering audit-ready statements to deadline while partnering with Sales, Legal, RevOps, and FP&A.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of accounting experience, including Big 4 (or comparable) audit experience at Senior or Manager level and 2+ years in industry.
• Strong US GAAP knowledge, with hands-on experience applying ASC 606 and other complex standards.
• A proven track record of preparing consolidated financial statements and disclosures, not only reviewing them.
• Experience leading external audits, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.
• Strong technical writing skills, including memos and position papers that stand up to auditor scrutiny.
• Experience in SaaS or technology. Exposure to financial services, trading, or digital assets is a strong plus.
• Comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to reason from first principles where guidance is limited.
• Clear communication with non-finance stakeholders.
• Strong Excel skills. Experience with Sage Intacct, Workiva, FloQast, or AI tools is a plus.
• CPA or ACA/ACCA preferred.

Responsibilities

• Own preparation of consolidated and statutory financial statements, footnotes, and disclosures under US GAAP, including multi-currency consolidation and FX translation.
• Lead the group external audit and around five international statutory audits (including Ireland and Singapore), managing timelines, requests, and the resolution of open items.
• Research and document technical positions on complex and non-routine transactions, and present them to auditors, up to national office level.
• Partner with Sales, Legal, RevOps, and FP&A to define the accounting, billing, and reporting treatment for new products and revenue streams.
• Support technical workstreams including revenue recognition (ASC 606), digital assets (ASC 350-60), leases (ASC 842), share-based compensation (ASC 718), and M&A (ASC 805/810).
• Work closely with Operational Accounting to ensure the close produces accurate, reconciled inputs for reporting.
• Drive improvements to the reporting process, including disclosure automation, reporting tools such as Workiva, and AI-enabled workflows.
• Maintain accounting policies and contribute to ICFR documentation as the business scales.
• Support regulatory reporting for regulated entities, including broker-dealer reporting and CIMA VASP returns.
