Why This Role Matters
We are looking for a high-judgment, hands-on Accounting Manager to play a central role in strengthening and scaling our finance foundation. Reporting to the Global Controller and partnering closely with FP&A and the CFO, this role will help ensure financial accuracy, operational rigor, and disciplined execution as the company grows.
This position goes beyond transactional accounting. You’ll help shape processes, reinforce internal controls, and elevate the overall quality and scalability of our accounting operations.
What You’ll Do
- Own and continuously improve the month-end close process, ensuring it is accurate, timely, and coordinated across U.S. and global teams
- Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analyses with strong attention to detail and documentation standards
- Strengthen internal controls and ensure adherence to US GAAP, identifying areas of risk and proactively recommending improvements
- Partner closely with FP&A and the CFO on reporting insights, forecast alignment, and financial analysis
- Support audit readiness and serve as a key point of contact for external auditors
- Enhance accounting policies, procedures, and documentation to build a scalable and well-controlled environment
- Identify process gaps and implement practical, sustainable improvements in a lean-team setting
- Provide guidance and informal leadership to junior team members and contribute to a high-performing finance culture
What You’ll Bring
- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally Big 4 or strong mid-tier public accounting training
- Deep understanding of US GAAP and experience operating within well-controlled close environments
- Experience working in growing or evolving organizations where structure is still being built
- Strong ownership mindset is key: you take initiative, exercise sound judgment, and operate independently
- Ability to balance detail orientation with a broader understanding of financial impact and business context
- Clear, confident communication skills across cross-functional and international teams
- Experience working with distributed or offshore accounting teams (a plus)
- Prior mentoring or informal leadership experience (a plus)
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Competitive base salary (annual): $135,000 – $150,000 USD (depending on experience)
- Bonus eligible; standard Azira benefits included
- Full medical, dental, vision, and PTO benefits
- Flexible remote work environment (U.S.-based)
- Direct exposure to senior finance leadership and meaningful influence on how Finance scales
- Collaborative, high-trust culture with strong ownership
