Role Description:

The Accounting Manager will be responsible for managing the preparation, audit and filing of the financial statements of our 12+ international subsidiaries in EMEA, APAC & South America.

For 4 of these countries in Europe we manage the accounting in house. For the others the accounting is outsourced to a third party big 4 vendor. For all territories preparation of the financial statements is outsourced to the same vendor. A handful of territories require audit (including UK, France and Singapore). The role requires liaison with the vendor and auditor including timetabling, supplying trial balances, ensuring fulfilment of Provided by Client requests, answering any questions about the balances and accounting and arranging sign off and filing of the financial statements.

The vendor manages the conversion from US GAAP to local GAAP. Where we complete the bookkeeping in house, maintenance of Oracle secondary ledgers is required.

The role also entails preparation of the quarterly consolidated international flux analysis for SOX control purposes.

The role also is engaged in leading the Global monthly close process (US & international), specializing in areas such as cash, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, employee compensation, marketing, leases and other expenses, including the review of (i) monthly journal entries and (ii) account reconciliations. This position will help to streamline our existing Global close process and find efficiencies to reduce the amount of time to close and further accelerate the time in which it takes to provide financial results to management.

The Accounting Manager will also work with the Financial Planning and Analysis team and meet with various other departments to understand fluctuations from budget and forecast to assist in the monthly close process. This position will work directly with external auditors in facilitating the quarterly reviews and year-end audits as well as assisting in the implementation of an accounting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

The Accounting Manager should have an in-depth knowledge of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) including experience in accounting for international subsidiaries, strong project management, time management and organizational skills; strong work ethic; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. The Accounting Manager should also be highly adaptable to change due to CoStar's rapid growth via organic growth and acquisitions.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage the preparation, audit and filing of international subsidiaries' financial statements.
  • Quarterly preparation of consolidated international flux analysis for SOX control purposes.
  • Ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the Global month-end close, including review of monthly journal entries and supporting schedules and analysis of monthly financial results.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelors degree in Accounting or Finance or related from an accredited, not-for-profit University or College.
  • A track record of commitment to prior employers.
  • 8 years of accounting experience and Bachelors degree, or 5 years experience and Masters degree, or similar blend of equivalent experience, education, and accounting credentials.
  • Licensed CPA.
  • Experience working in a large international public company with primary experience involved in GL close functions, including international subsidiaries.
  • Strong leadership, project management, and communication skills.
  • Ability to think critically and analyze data effectively.
  • Ability to work effectively leading and within a team to complete projects.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Oracle Cloud ERP.
  • Experience working in a Big 4 or other regional public accounting firm.
