Senior Manager, Accounting

The Senior Manager, Accounting will lead and develop two Senior Accountants responsible for distinct but interconnected areas of the general ledger: fixed assets and parts inventory, and prepaid expenses and monthly accruals. This role is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the financial close, driving process improvements—particularly around highly manual Oracle workflows—and serving as a hands-on working manager who partners closely with FP&A and business operations. As ecoATM expands into Canada, this role will also oversee the integration of Canadian accounting responsibilities into the team’s scope over time. The ideal candidate combines deep technical accounting knowledge with a collaborative leadership style and a strong drive to build efficient, scalable processes. This role will be reporting to Director, General Accounting and Financial Reporting.

In this role, you will:

• Directly manage and develop two Senior Accountants—one focused on fixed assets and parts inventory, and one focused on prepaid expenses and monthly accruals—providing hands-on coaching, workload oversight, review of work product, and ongoing performance feedback
• Oversee and improve the fixed asset accounting process, including internally developed software, construction-in-progress (CIP), asset additions and disposals, depreciation, and fixed asset roll-forward (RF) reporting; lead efforts to reduce manual processing in Oracle and build more efficient, controlled workflows
• Partner with business Operations to improve the parts inventory accounting process end-to-end, identifying pain points, aligning on controls, and driving cross-functional solutions that reduce manual effort and improve accuracy
• Oversee prepaid expense schedules and monthly accruals, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and proper amortization across the close cycle; review and approve journal entries and reconciliations prepared by the Senior Accountant
• Serve as the primary accounting liaison to FP&A and business partners—explaining actuals-versus-forecast variances and aligning on accrual estimates, invoice timing, accrual methodology, and forecast inputs each period to ensure the accounting close reflects business activity accurately
• Own and manage the monthly financial close for areas within scope, including close calendar adherence, journal entry review, and balance sheet reconciliation sign-off across fixed assets, prepaid expenses, and accrued liabilities
• Support business initiatives and cross-functional projects that intersect with general ledger accounting, bringing accounting expertise to operational decisions and system changes
• Lead the integration of Canadian operations into the team’s scope as ecoATM grows, working with both Senior Accountants to transition CAD close activities in a controlled, well-documented manner
• Support external audit coordination for areas within scope, including preparation of audit schedules, resolution of auditor inquiries, and maintenance of accounting policy documentation
• Additional responsibilities and ad hoc projects may be assigned as business needs evolve, and the scope of this role expands

Skills & Abilities

• Deep technical accounting knowledge across fixed assets, capitalized software, parts inventory, prepaid expenses, and accruals, with the ability to review and validate work product prepared by senior staff
• Ability to assess manual, high-effort processes—particularly in Oracle—and design repeatable, well-controlled alternatives that reduce close risk and improve team capacity
• Effective people leader, able to develop a team, set clear expectations, and maintain accountability without micromanaging execution
• Strong internal controls orientation with the ability to identify risk in fixed asset records, inventory balances, accrual estimates, and reconciliation exceptions before they affect financial reporting
• Clear and credible communicator with FP&A, business operations, and leadership—able to translate accounting outcomes into plain business language and partner effectively on shared decisions around accruals, invoices, and operational processes
• Organized and composed under close pressure, able to manage competing priorities and keep the team on track during the most demanding periods of the reporting cycle

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Accounting or Finance; CPA required
• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including direct ownership of the financial close in a multi-entity/multi-currency environment
• Prior experience managing or mentoring staff
• Demonstrated experience improving close cycle performance through process redesign, system utilization, or cross-functional collaboration; experience with highly manual Oracle fixed asset or inventory processes strongly preferred
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP across fixed assets (including internally developed software under ASC 350-40), prepaid expenses, accruals, and parts/inventory
• Hands-on experience with Oracle (or a comparable ERP environment)
• Experience with close management or reconciliation platforms such as FloQast or BlackLine a plus.
