Senior Accountant - Equity and SEC Reporting

Buckingham Search

Senior Accountant – Equity & SEC Reporting

North Suburbs of Chicago | Hybrid

A large, global manufacturing and distribution company is seeking a Senior Accountant to own equity accounting and support SEC reporting within its corporate accounting team.

It’s a specialized, technical seat, a good fit for an accountant who wants deeper work than a typical generalist role: stock-based compensation, EPS, noncontrolling interests, and complex accounting research.

What You’ll Do:

  • Prepare journal entries for equity transactions and reconcile equity and other assigned accounts
  • Calculate quarterly stock-based compensation expense, income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and earnings per share
  • Prepare assigned financial statement footnotes and sections of SEC filings, along with supporting files
  • Research complex transactions, including complex equity awards, and draft technical accounting memos
  • Support review of accounting areas involving significant management judgments and estimates
  • Contribute to process improvement and internal controls projects across financial reporting
  • Support system integrations and new business initiatives that affect the financial statements
  • Partner with corporate accounting, consolidations, tax, and audit teams on technical and reporting matters
  • Handle ad hoc reporting and requests for tax, audit, and other stakeholders

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business; Master’s in Accounting strongly preferred
  • CPA strongly preferred
  • 2–5 years of accounting experience, ideally in technical accounting or external reporting
  • Public company SEC reporting experience, or Big 4 experience with public clients
  • Strong GAAP knowledge and ability to research complex accounting issues
  • Advanced Excel (PowerPivot, Power Query, index/match, pivot tables, modeling) and comfort with large data sets
  • Experience with equity accounting, stock compensation, or EPS a strong plus
  • SOX 404 and consolidation system (Oracle EPM, BPC) experience a plus

Why This Role Stands Out:

✅ Specialized technical seat in equity accounting, which is rare at this level

✅ Direct SEC reporting and technical research experience

✅ Visible projects tied to growth and transformation

✅ Large, growing global company with strong development and continuing education support

✅ Hybrid flexibility in the North Suburbs of Chicago
