The role owns US general-ledger accounting and US GAAP technical accounting, and partners closely with the wider GL, payroll and regional teams to deliver an accurate, timely and well-controlled month-end close. It is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who combines strong technical-accounting judgement with a meticulous, controls-minded approach. Work across US business hours overlap as needed to support the US entities and audit cycles.

• Prepare and support US GAAP financial statements, including initial drafts, roll-forwards and supporting schedules.
• Research and document technical accounting positions and memos in line with US GAAP and company policy.
• Perform US general-ledger accounting: journal entries, accruals, allocations, AR bad-debt provisioning and other month-end entries.
• Prepare the monthly cash-flow statement and support consolidated cash-flow and debt reporting.
• Complete assigned balance-sheet reconciliations and FloQast checklist items within close deadlines, ensuring all items are well supported.
• Perform monthly bank reconciliations, ensuring all transactions are accurately matched and variances are investigated and resolved in a timely manner.
• Own US payroll accounting and reconciliations, working with the payroll team so that payroll execution and payroll accounting are clearly segregated and fully reconciled each period.
• Lead US audit support: prepare PBC schedules, respond to auditor queries and maintain audit-ready documentation.
• Maintain strong internal controls and segregation of duties across GL and payroll processes.
• Execute and document SOX controls for assigned processes, support SOX walkthroughs and control testing, and partner with internal and external auditors to remediate any control gaps.
• Support and mentor other GL team members on complex accounting matters, and partner with the regional (APAC) team on cross-entity activities.
Required Qualifications & Experience
• Qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) or Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
• Around 5–8 years of post-qualification experience in accounting, with significant US GAAP exposure.
• Hands-on experience with US GL accounting, month-end close, financial-statement preparation and technical accounting (leases, debt, stock-comp, derivatives).
• Experience supporting external audits and preparing audit schedules.
• Hands-on SOX compliance experience – operating and documenting internal controls, supporting walkthroughs, control testing and deficiency remediation in a SOX 404 environment.
• Strong working knowledge of US payroll accounting and reconciliations.
• Proficiency with ERP / accounting systems and reconciliation tools (e.g., NetSuite/Oracle, FloQast or similar) and advanced MS Excel.
• Excellent attention to detail, a controls-first mindset, and the ability to meet tight close timelines.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the flexibility to overlap with US business hours during close and audit periods.
Preferred / Nice to Have
