Job Description
About the Accounting Manager Role at Robert Half
Robert Half is proud to partner with a dynamic, growth-oriented organization in New York, New York, United States, seeking an exceptional Accounting Manager to lead technical accounting functions. This pivotal full-time position offers the chance to oversee financial reporting, drive compliance with GAAP and SEC standards, and position the company for scalable expansion. As the primary liaison for external auditors, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver accurate, audit-ready financial insights that empower executive decision-making. With a salary context around $125,000 annually, this role combines strategic leadership with hands-on technical expertise in a vibrant NYC finance hub.
The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, excels in complex accounting analyses, and has a passion for enhancing internal controls. Join Robert Half's network of top finance professionals and advance your career in one of the world's leading financial centers.
Why This Role Stands Out
This Accounting Manager position is more than operational—it's a strategic opportunity to shape financial policies and prepare for public-market readiness. You'll influence organizational growth by implementing robust controls and navigating evolving standards like ASC 606 and 842. Perfect for CPAs or seasoned accountants ready to step into leadership.
Key Responsibilities
As Accounting Manager, your impact will span financial reporting, policy development, and compliance. Expect to:
- Oversee preparation of annual audited financial statements, ensuring comprehensive footnote disclosures and audit-supporting schedules that meet SOX and SEC expectations.
- Lead quarterly reporting packages for C-suite executives and Board members, emphasizing precision, variance analysis, and strategic narratives on KPIs.
- Craft detailed financial stories highlighting performance drivers, YoY comparisons, and forward-looking insights.
- Design and maintain disclosure controls mirroring public-company rigor to mitigate risks and streamline audits.
- Perform in-depth technical analyses on high-stakes transactions like M&A integrations, IFRS/US GAAP leases, and equity incentive plans.
- Monitor FASB updates, interpret impacts, champion adoption projects, and train teams on new standards.
- Author and update accounting policies, memos, and documentation critical for regulatory filings and external reviews.
- Strengthen SOX-compliant internal controls, conducting gap analyses and remediation to bolster financial integrity.
- Partner with Consolidations and FP&A teams for uniform policy application and enterprise-wide audit preparedness.
- Act as the go-to expert for auditors, managing deliverables, responding to inquiries, and resolving technical issues efficiently.
Required Qualifications
To succeed, bring proven expertise in technical accounting and a track record of leadership. Key qualifications include:
- Bachelor's in Accounting/Finance; Master's or CPA strongly preferred.
- 7+ years in accounting, with 3+ in technical roles handling public or complex private company reporting.
- Advanced US GAAP mastery, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), business combos (ASC 805), leases (ASC 842), and SBC (ASC 718).
- Experience drafting MD&A, footnotes, and Board materials with emphasis on clarity and compliance.
- Strong research skills using tools like Bloomberg Accounting or KPMG guides.
- ERP proficiency (NetSuite, Workday, SAP) and Excel mastery (pivot tables, VBA).
- Excellent stakeholder management for auditors (Big 4 experience a plus) and internal partners.
- Analytical mindset for complex problem-solving and process optimization.
Candidates with public company or pre-IPO experience will excel, as will those passionate about driving control enhancements.
