ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking a highly analytical, detail-oriented Senior Technical Accountant to play a pivotal role on our Technical Accounting team during a period of rapid growth and increasing transactional complexity. Reporting to the Director of Technical Accounting and Financial Reporting, you will serve as a subject-matter expert on complex accounting matters, including but not limited to revenue recognition, leases, business combinations, equity and debt transactions, stock-based compensation, and high-volume service and vendor contract review. You will translate that technical expertise into clear, well-supported conclusions that shape how transactions are reflected in the Company’s financial statements. Operating at the intersection of accounting, finance, legal, and operations, you will act as a key liaison across the organization, partnering cross-functionally to ensure that novel and material transactions are identified early, assessed rigorously against the applicable accounting framework, and documented to audit-ready standards. This is a high-visibility role for a technically strong accountant who thrives on ambiguity, enjoys researching complex and bespoke issues, and wants to help build the technical accounting function of a company preparing for life as a public entity.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Research, interpret, and conclude on complex and judgmental accounting matters, authoring clear, well-supported technical accounting memoranda that document the facts, alternatives considered, and basis for conclusions in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Support mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic transactions, including accounting due diligence, purchase price allocation and valuation review, opening balance sheet procedures, and drafting the related technical accounting positions under ASC 805. Lead the annual impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles (ASC 350) and long-lived and finite-lived assets (ASC 360), including triggering-event analysis and documentation of conclusions. Assess the technical accounting implications of transactions under IFRS in addition to US GAAP (IFRS 2, IFRS 16, IFRS 15) and prepare dual-framework analyses that identify and quantify key differences to support statutory reporting, investor requirements, and potential future reporting needs. Monitor new and emerging accounting pronouncements under both US GAAP and IFRS and lead the assessment and implementation of new standards across the Company. Perform high-volume review of service and vendor contracts to identify and assess their technical accounting implications, evaluating terms that may affect revenue recognition, lease identification and classification, cost capitalization, embedded derivatives, and other accounting conclusions, and documenting the appropriate accounting treatment for each. Participate in Anduril’s month-end close process, primarily assisting with leases and stock-based compensation expense. Assist with aggregating a complete population of lease activity and reviewing and preparing lease amortization schedules in accordance with ASC 842. Assist with coordinating the technical accounting workstreams during the annual external audit. Support the IPO readiness process, establishing reporting policies aligned to public company standards for a potential public offering in the future. Closely partner with other departments, including Tax, Treasury, Legal, and Operations to ensure accuracy and completeness of financial information. Assist in the establishment, documentation, and maintenance of key accounting and business policies, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders. Approach work with a no-task-too-small mindset, taking ownership of ad-hoc projects and other responsibilities as needed.
