About the role

Manager Accounting, Accounting to join our growing finance organization, reporting to the VP of Accounting.

Manage and mentor a team of staff accountants, reviewing their work and developing their technical skills.
Partner with the VP of Accounting on technical accounting matters, including revenue recognition construction, staffing, and services contracts.
Lead intercompany accounting and eliminations across Overwatch's business units (including international), ensuring clean, accurate consolidations.
Design, document, and strengthen internal controls and accounting policies as Overwatch scales, identifying gaps and driving process improvement.
Own or support accounting system administration and process automation (ERP, close checklists, reporting tools), improving efficiency as transaction volume grows.
Support budgeting, forecasting, and ad hoc financial analysis for leadership as needed.

Required Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
CPA license (active or eligible) required.
6-8+ years of progressive accounting experience Strong technical GAAP knowledge and demonstrated experience managing a full-cycle monthly close.
Experience managing or mentoring staff.
Experience with multi-entity consolidations and intercompany accounting.
Experience with construction, staffing/PEO, or professional services accounting (percentage-of-completion, job costing, or contract revenue recognition).
Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP systems.

Preferred Public accounting experience at a Big 4, national, or regional firm (audit or assurance background strongly preferred).
Big plus if you're a quick learner and used to being the "go-to" expert!

Own the monthly and annual close process, including preparation and review of journal entries, account reconciliations, and consolidated financial statements across multiple entities and business units.
Serve as a key point of contact for the annual financial statement audit and any lender or bank-required reporting; prepare audit schedules and support requests.
