Staff I Accountant - Consolidations, Reporting & Corporate Accounting

Position Overview

Tiffany & Co. is seeking a Staff Accountant to join the Consolidations, Reporting & Corporate Accounting team at our Whippany, NJ corporate office. This is an entry-level opportunity within a high-performing team that has been deliberately redesigned to develop early-career accounting talent — offering a recent graduate the chance to build a strong technical foundation across a broad range of corporate accounting disciplines within one of the world's most iconic luxury brands.

The Staff Accountant owns a broad portfolio of recurring monthly close deliverables spanning cash accounting, debt and loan entries, royalty and intragroup fee accruals, intercompany processing, and balance sheet and P&L analytics across a global structure of corporate holding entities. From day one, this role carries real ownership — direct accountability for a meaningful and diverse set of close deliverables that feed directly into the consolidated financial results of a globally recognized company.

This role also participates actively in the team's process improvement and automation agenda — contributing to the build-out of automated templates and workflows that are changing how the team operates, and developing the systems fluency and analytical discipline that are the foundation for a long-term career in corporate accounting.

The ideal candidate is a recent accounting graduate who brings strong foundational accounting knowledge, a high attention to detail, a willingness to learn complex systems and processes quickly, and the drive to build something meaningful early in their career.

Why This Role

For an early-career accountant who wants more than a narrow, task-specific role, this position offers something genuinely rare — broad exposure to corporate accounting disciplines, real close process ownership, and active involvement in a forward-thinking automation agenda, all within a globally recognized luxury brand.

From day one you will own a meaningful and diverse portfolio of close deliverables, including real accounting responsibilities that feed directly into the consolidated financial results of a multi-billion dollar global company. You will work within a team that interfaces with international markets across the globe and serves as the final financial reporting layer before results reach the LVMH Group — giving your work real visibility and real impact from the start of your career.

Specifically, you will have the opportunity to:

• Build foundational expertise across a broad range of corporate accounting disciplines — cash, debt, intercompany, royalties, and analytics — that most early-career accountants do not encounter until much later

• Develop close process discipline and systems fluency within one of the most deadline-driven and technically sophisticated accounting environments in the organization

• Participate actively in a live automation and process improvement agenda — contributing to the build-out of automated templates and workflows that are changing how the team operates

• Work within a structured development path with clear coaching and feedback from the Senior Accountant and Manager, designed to build the skills and judgment needed to grow into a Senior Accountant role over time

• 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.
