Our client, a growing CPG company operating across US and International markets, is looking for a Senior Accounting Manager to join their team.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and oversee the global month-end and quarter-end close processes across multiple legal entities, ensuring timely completion, adherence to established close calendars, and consistent execution of key accounting activities.
• Prepare, review, and consolidate financial statements in accordance with IFRS, including supporting external auditors with technical accounting matters, financial statement disclosures, and related inquiries.
• Oversee trade spend accounting activities, including promotional allowances, customer deductions, chargebacks, and accruals. Ensure transactions are appropriately classified between contra-revenue and operating expenses and reconciled to trade spend management systems.
• Manage accounting for foreign currency transactions, intercompany balances, and FX remeasurement and revaluation activities across multiple subsidiaries, entities, and currencies.
• Collaborate closely with FP&A and commercial teams to ensure trade spend, pricing adjustments, promotional activity, and related accruals are accurately captured and reflected in monthly financial results.
• Review journal entries, account reconciliations, and balance sheet flux analyses prepared by the accounting team, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and appropriate supporting documentation.
• Contribute to the preparation of management reporting packages and board‑level financial presentations, including analysis of margins and profitability on a net revenue basis.
• Drive continuous improvement and standardization of accounting and close processes across entities, leveraging ERP platforms such as NetSuite and other financial systems to enhance efficiency, consistency, and controls.
• Research and evaluate technical accounting matters and assist with the preparation of accounting memos for complex or non‑routine transactions, including revenue recognition, general ledger reclassifications, and intercompany activity.
• Coordinate with external auditors throughout interim and year‑end audit cycles, providing requested documentation and supporting IFRS, U.S. GAAP, and tax‑related audit requirements.
• Lead and support the annual audit process following the fiscal year‑end, including coordinating audit fieldwork, managing PBC schedules, and ensuring timely and accurate resolution of auditor requests.
• Provide mentorship, coaching, and day‑to‑day guidance to accounting team members, promoting a culture centered on accuracy, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to ad hoc accounting and finance initiatives, including system implementations, legal entity restructuring, process automation, and other projects designed to improve the scalability and effectiveness of the finance function.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA, ACA/ACCA, or equivalent certification strongly preferred.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting/accounting management experience, with prior experience in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry required.
• Demonstrated experience with IFRS financial reporting is preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with trade spend accounting (promotional allowances, deductions, chargebacks, and related accrual/reconciliation processes) is required.
• Experience with foreign currency transactions, FX exposure, and multi‑currency consolidation is required.
• Proven experience managing or directly owning the month‑end close process in a multi‑entity environment is required.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP in addition to IFRS, given the company's predominantly U.S. sales base.
• Experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite or similar) and trade spend/deduction management platforms (e.g., Vividly or similar).
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with financial reporting and consolidation tools.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to work cross‑functionally with FP&A, Sales, and Operations.
• High degree of accuracy, integrity, and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
