Senior Accountant - Consolidations, Reporting & Corporate Accounting

Job Description

Position Overview

Tiffany & Co. is seeking a Senior Accountant to join the Consolidations, Reporting & Corporate Accounting team at our Whippany, NJ corporate office. This is a newly elevated role within a high-performing team undergoing a deliberate and thoughtful redesign - creating an opportunity for a technically strong accountant to step into a position with significant scope, clear ownership, and meaningful opportunity for professional development.

The Senior Accountant is responsible for the preparation and ownership of complex recurring corporate accounting activities, technical journal entries, and analytical reviews across the Tiffany & Co. global legal entity structure. The role spans a technically diverse portfolio including hedge accounting, pension and post-retirement benefit accounting, equity and non-controlling interest, minority interest entries, and selected consolidation support activities. In addition to owning a meaningful body of technical preparer work, the Senior Accountant serves as the primary first-level reviewer of work prepared by the Staff Accountant - making this a role with both individual contributor depth and emerging leadership responsibility.

This role also plays an active part in the team's process improvement and automation agenda, identifying opportunities to streamline recurring close processes, building automated templates, and helping to reduce manual effort across a high-volume, deadline-driven close environment.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical accounting knowledge, the ability to manage multiple competing priorities during a fast-paced close cycle, a continuous improvement mindset, and the interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively across functions and levels of the organization.

Why This Role
The Consolidations, Reporting & Corporate Accounting team is the final leg of financial reporting before results reach the LVMH Group - a position that carries real weight, real visibility, and real impact. The Senior Accountant who joins will be working at the intersection of technical accounting depth and global reporting scale, in a role that has been deliberately redesigned to offer meaningful ownership from day one.

Specifically, you will have the opportunity to:

• Build deep expertise across a portfolio of technical accounting disciplines - including hedge accounting, a specialized area that is genuinely difficult to find exposure to at this stage of a career
• Develop emerging leadership skills by serving as a first-level reviewer and coach to the Staff Accountant
• Contribute to a live automation and process improvement agenda with tangible results
• Work within a globally connected accounting environment with direct interfaces to international markets and LVMH Group reporting
• Be part of a team that is investing deliberately in its people, its processes, and its future

Location: This position follows a hybrid schedule requiring 4 days in-office at our Whippany, NJ location and 1 day remote.
