The Senior Accounting Manager, Corporate Accounting is a pivotal operational leadership role within the US Accounting organization, responsible for driving the day-to-day execution of corporate accounting operations, month-end close workflows, OPEX reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, and audit readiness. Reporting to the Assistant Controller, this role bridges the gap between hands-on transactional preparation and high-level controllership governance.
In addition to operational ownership of the close engine, this individual partners closely with Finance Transformation and cross-functional teams to execute continuous improvement initiatives across corporate accounting operations. They will focus on streamlining workflows, enforcing robust internal controls, and scaling general ledger infrastructure to support SOX compliance and public-company readiness as the company positions itself for future expansion.

- Risk Escalation: Identify, assess, and document close-related risks, control gaps, and judgment areas, formulating structured recommendations to present to the Assistant Controller for final determination.

- Capital Structure Review: Review material and non-routine journal entries and balance sheet schedules relating to corporate debt instruments, interest accruals, and equity/stock-based compensation administration.
- SOX-Compliant Review Frameworks: Perform first-pass and secondary reviews of higher-risk, material, or manual journal entries, enforcing rigid supporting-documentation requirements and segregation of duties in line with public-company SOX control standards.
3. Balance Sheet Integrity, Fixed Asset Oversight, & Financial Narratives
- Balance Sheet Integrity: Oversee the preparation and rigorous review of critical balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring audit-ready workpapers, robust supporting documentation, and timely resolution of aged items.
- Fixed Asset Oversight: Oversee the review and approval of fixed asset rollforwards, CAPEX schedules, and depreciation workpapers prepared by dedicated asset accounting roles, validating accurate capitalization thresholds and asset tagging.
- Fluctuation Analysis: Lead month-over-month and quarter-over-quarter P&L and Balance Sheet variance analyses for corporate OPEX and general accounting scopes, evaluating underlying business drivers.
- Reporting Partnership: Partner with the Assistant Controller to translate financial trends, operational estimates, and analytical findings into executive-ready close narratives.
- Tool Optimization: Collaborate actively with close-management platform administrators (e.g., FloQast) to optimize close tasks, reduce workflow bottlenecks, and strengthen review visibility and auditability.
4. Policy Operationalization, Transformation Partnership, & Controls
- Transformation Partnership: Partner closely with Finance Transformation peers and system administrators to operationalize new tools, process enhancements, and automated future-state accounting workflows.
- Process Alignment & Playbooks: Support the implementation of corporate accounting policies, designing operational playbooks and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that translate US GAAP and internal control mandates into daily execution.
- Technical Support: Partner with Technical Accounting and the Assistant Controller to embed technical updates and accounting standard changes into operational systems and workflows.

- Audit Interface & Request Management: Serve as a primary operational interface for external auditors, managing PBC request fulfillment, technical walkthroughs, and supporting documentation across corporate accounting domains.
- SOX Framework Execution: Design, execute, and document key management controls (ITGCs, transactional controls, and automated application controls) in alignment with ŌURA’s evolving SOX control matrix.
- Control Testing & Deficiency Remediation: Proactively identify internal control deficiencies, process vulnerabilities, or segregation of duties gaps, partnering with internal audit and controllership leadership to design and execute immediate remediation plans.
6. Team Leadership & Talent Development
