The real world is the next frontier, and at Metropolis, we are creating the artificial intelligence to make it responsive. We are pioneering the Recognition Economy — a future where mundane repetition disappears and being known unlocks access, comfort and belonging everywhere you go. From transforming parking into a seamless drive-in, drive-out experience for millions of Members to expanding our intelligence layer across retail and hospitality, we are building a world that feels instinctive and magical. The future isn’t coming; it’s here, and we need builders, innovators and problem solvers to help us create it.

Who you are

Metropolis is seeking a Director of Financial Reporting & International Accounting to lead global consolidation, external reporting, and foreign subsidiary oversight during a period of significant global expansion. You will architect our future readiness for capital markets by owning global accounting operations and technical accounting assessments across our international entities.

What you'll do
  • Own all aspects of financial reporting, including monthly/quarterly close, consolidation, and reporting packages
  • Lead preparation of GAAP-compliant financial statements and disclosures; support future SEC-readiness activities
  • Oversee accounting operations of foreign subsidiaries, including statutory reporting, intercompany processes, and local audits
  • Drive technical accounting assessments related to international entities, currency impacts, revenue recognition, equity, leases, and acquisitions
  • Strengthen global accounting policies, procedures, internal controls, and governance structures
  • Partner with FP&A, Treasury, Tax, and local business leaders to ensure complete and accurate global financial results
  • Mentor and develop a growing, geographically distributed accounting team
What we're looking for
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and global reporting standards
  • Experience with global consolidations, foreign currency, and multi-entity operations
  • Proven ability to design scalable reporting processes in a high-growth environment
  • Strong leadership, project management, and communication skills
While not required, these are a plus:
  • SEC experience

When you join Metropolis, you'll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins. You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows. The anticipated base salary for this position is $185,000.00 USD to $200,000.00 USD annually. The actual base salary offered is determined by a number of variables, including, as appropriate, the applicant's qualifications for the position, years of relevant experience, distinctive skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location of residence and/or place of employment. Base salary is one component of Metropolis' total compensation package, which may also include access to or eligibility for healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance, a lucrative stock option plan, bonus plans and more. #LI-WT1 #LI-Onsite
