## Job description

Accounting Manager – Internal

As an Accounting Manager, you will be part of the internal accounting team and play a key role in the accuracy, timeliness, and integrity of the organization's financial reporting. This position combines hands-on accounting responsibilities with oversight of key processes and team activities, including the month-end close, intercompany accounting, accounts payable, and fixed assets. Payroll accounting is also a core part of the role, including accounting oversight of payroll and general oversight of the payroll team. As a growing company expanding into new international markets, we need a versatile, hands-on team member who can act as a utility player, picking up new projects, including M&A integrations and purchase accounting, and helping wherever the accounting team needs support. The Accounting Manager reports to the Controller.

## Key Responsibilities

Manage the month-end close process, including the preparation and review of journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and supporting schedules. Oversee intercompany transfer pricing calculations and the preparation and recording of related intercompany billings, ensuring accuracy and consistency with established policies. Manage the intercompany close process, including reconciling intercompany balances, resolving discrepancies, and ensuring intercompany activity is eliminated accurately and on time. Oversee the accounting and general ledger recording of payroll, including reviewing payroll-related journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and account activity for accuracy, completeness, and appropriate classification. Provide day-to-day guidance, review, and oversight to accounting team members, helping ensure work is completed accurately, completely, and on time. Oversee the accounts payable and expense reimbursement processes, including the timely resolution of issues and maintenance of appropriate controls. Maintain and review cash flow forecasting to support effective financial planning and decision-making. Provide general oversight of the payroll team to confirm payroll activities are completed accurately and timely, while promptly identifying and escalating errors, missed deadlines, or control concerns. This role does not process payroll and is not responsible for payroll tax calculations, deposits, filings, returns, or related compliance activities. Oversee the organization's fixed assets, ensuring proper accounting, depreciation, reconciliation, and asset tracking. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to prepare accurate and timely financial reports and resolve accounting matters. Coordinate with the payroll team and other stakeholders to obtain the information needed for period-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting. Monitor financial controls, reporting processes, and compliance with applicable accounting standards; recommend and implement process improvements where appropriate. Support external audits by coordinating requests, reviewing supporting documentation, and helping ensure timely and complete responses. Document and maintain business processes and accounting policies to strengthen internal controls and promote consistent execution. Support the company's international expansion by helping with accounting needs in new countries, such as new entity setup, multi-currency accounting, and local reporting requirements, and take on special projects and new areas of work as the business grows. Play a key role in M&A activity, including integrating acquired entities into the company's accounting processes and systems and assisting with purchase accounting, including opening balance sheet entries and related analysis.

## What you must have

Thorough knowledge of general financial accounting, month-end close, account reconciliations, intercompany accounting, and internal controls. Ability to review payroll-related accounting and general ledger activity without responsibility for payroll processing or payroll tax compliance.

## Nice to have

Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance. At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, including experience reviewing the work of others or leading accounting processes. Prior experience with payroll accounting, payroll journal entries, and payroll-related account reconciliations preferred. Public accounting experience preferred. Experience with M&A integrations or purchase accounting is a plus. Experience with general ledger systems and Microsoft Office, including strong Excel skills.

Who thrives here Strong leadership, review, and team-management skills, with the ability to set priorities and hold team members accountable for accurate and timely work. Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and resolve issues proactively. Flexibility and willingness to help where needed, including taking on new projects and unfamiliar areas as the business grows and expands internationally.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Independence from audit constraints**: CFGI is not an audit firm, so it can prepare memos, financial statements, and documentation that auditors cannot, and works directly with audit teams.
- **Senior practitioner model**: Engagements are staffed with senior professionals (ex-Big Four national office backgrounds), not junior teams supervised from a distance.
- **Embedded, not advisory**: Practitioners work alongside management as an extension of the internal team, doing the work rather than just advising.

- **Deepening PE sponsor relationships**: Serving over 500 sponsors and focusing on value creation and transaction advisory for the private equity ecosystem.
- **Scaling the senior practitioner model**: Replicating the grassroots, local-office approach that worked in Boston and New York across new international markets.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a "community-first corporation" where people are the priority internally and externally; employees are empowered to leverage their previous knowledge to craft innovative strategies.
- **Work model**: Practitioners work near clients (side by side), with a "roll-up-the-sleeves" approach. The firm maintains a local presence in 30+ cities, so roles are likely hybrid/office-based near client sites.
- **Career opportunity**: Work on the most complex and interesting accounting and advisory challenges (IPOs, carve-outs, large transactions) alongside the best clients, with direct access to senior leadership.
- **Team composition**: Exclusively former Big Four professionals (1,400+), meaning you join a peer group of high-caliber talent from Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG.
- **Growth trajectory**: Rapid headcount growth (+10.5% YoY), recent international expansion, and backing from top-tier PE firms signal strong momentum and career advancement potential.
