# Accounting Specialist at Wildlife Studios

- **Company:** Wildlife Studios
- **Location:** São Paulo, Brazil
- **Posted:** 2026-07-30
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-07
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/wildlifestudios/jobs/8659590002

## Job description

We're looking for an Accounting Specialist to play a key role in our Controllership team, owning the monthly financial close for multiple entities and contributing to the accuracy, reliability, and continuous improvement of Wildlife's financial reporting.

As our operations continue to evolve, strong and scalable accounting and reporting processes are critical. In this role, you will coordinate the monthly close end-to-end: keeping timelines on track, stakeholders aligned, and risks flagged early. You will be responsible for ensuring that accounting information accurately reflects the business and supports decision-making at the group level.

You will work closely with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and other Finance and Operations teams to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions, while understanding how local entries impact group consolidation. This role requires a strong sense of ownership, sound judgment to navigate trade-offs between accuracy, timelines, and business needs, and the ability to align stakeholders when priorities compete.

You will also help improve, automate, and scale our accounting processes: shortening closing timelines, strengthening controls, and building a more efficient and reliable reporting environment, while sharing context and reasoning with the team along the way.

## What You'll Do

- Own and coordinate the monthly financial close for multiple entities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and quality. Anticipate blockers, raise risks early, and balance competing timelines and shifting inputs without overcomplicating the process.
- Oversee the preparation and review of balance sheet reconciliations, investigating variances and unusual transactions, and connecting findings to business impact. Support the Accounting & Reporting manager in preparing status reports for CFO review.
- Assist in drafting and maintaining accounting policies, technical memos, and procedures (US GAAP/ IFRS), documenting decisions in a way that others (including non-technical partners) can act on.
- Partner with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and Business teams to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions. Listen to different perspectives, bring discussions back to shared goals, and help reach alignment when priorities or interpretations diverge.
- Identify and quickly implement process improvements and automation opportunities in the closing cycle, drawing on market best practices and emerging tools to scale our reporting environment.
- Analyze financial data using key metrics and dashboards to evaluate results, validate hypotheses, and connect accounting outcomes to business impact.
- Understand and analyze the impact of local accounting entries on group consolidation, including intercompany transactions, eliminations, FX effects, and CTA.
- Communicate proactively: share progress, surface blockers early instead of going quiet, and adjust tone and vocabulary to the audience (technical peers, FP&A, leadership, auditors).

## What You Need

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting;
- Solid experience in Accounting and Financial Reporting;
- Strong knowledge of US GAAP and IFRS;
- Proven experience owning timely monthly close processes end-to-end across multiple entities;
- Solid understanding of consolidation concepts, including intercompany eliminations, FX/CTA, and multi-entity structures;
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex problems and use data to support decisions;
- Demonstrated ability to engage and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and drive alignment under tight deadlines.

## Nice to Have

- Experience with multi-entity/ international structures with different functional currencies;
- Exposure to process automation or data tools
- MBA or specialization in Accounting/Finance;
- Fluent English.

More About You

- Strong sense of ownership and accountability: you own outcomes, not just tasks, and follow up on blockers until they are resolved.
- Detail-oriented with ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.
- Clear and structured communication: you can present options and trade-offs to non-technical partners, document decisions so others can act on them, and adapt your message to different audiences.
- Sound judgment under competing priorities: you can navigate trade-offs between accuracy, timelines, and business needs, and know when to escalate.
- Collaborative and calm under pressure: you stay constructive when scope changes, help teammates when they fall behind, and bring stability rather than intensifying issues.
- Candid and transparent: when errors occur, you are forthcoming and help address issues quickly rather than trying to save face.
- Continuous improvement mindset: you actively look for ways to reduce closing timelines, strengthen controls, and adopt better tools and practices from the market.
- Curious by nature: you continuously experiment with emerging AI tools to work faster and deliver better outcomes.
- Cross-functional mindset: comfortable working across Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and Business teams in a fast-paced environment.
