Position Overview The Accounting Manager is a key leadership role within AvonRisk's corporate accounting and finance function, supporting a rapidly growing workers' compensation and liability third-party administrator (TPA). This role owns meaningful areas of the multi-entity month-end close, the general ledger, banking and disbursement controls, expense and vendor processing, and financial reporting. The Accounting Manager supervises and develops staff accountants and clerks, serves as a point of contact for banking partners and external auditors, and leads efforts to document and assimilate the accounting processes of acquired entities. This position reports to the VP of Accounting and is based remote / Rocklin, CA. Responsibilities • Own and manage assigned areas of the multi-entity month-end close, including journal entries, accruals, and intercompany activity, ensuring completion on time and to a high standard. • Supervise and develop staff accountants and clerks; review their work, mentor their growth, and own the timeliness and integrity of the close for the assigned area. • Prepare and review balance-sheet reconciliations; investigate and clear variances rather than carrying them forward. • Maintain accuracy in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, including vendor setup, GL coding, and journal and cash-receipt import files. • Administer bank activity and positive-pay files and perform account analyses with banking partners; uphold and enforce segregation-of-duties and approval controls over disbursements. • Review and code corporate expenses, support accounts-payable workflows, and reconcile related accounts. • Produce internal and management reporting, support liquidity and cash forecasting, and contribute to financial dashboards used by leadership. • Prepare schedules and supporting documentation for the annual external audit; serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors and lender and regulatory reporting. • Document, standardize, and improve recurring accounting processes, and lead the integration of acquired entities and new systems onto consistent close procedures. Requirements Requirements • Strong general-ledger and reconciliation fundamentals, including full-cycle month-end close and close ownership. • Demonstrated supervisory or lead experience, including reviewing others' work and developing staff. • Advanced Excel skills (complex formulas, pivot tables, data connections, and large-data cleanup). • Strong attention to detail and the ownership instinct to close items rather than carry them. • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including with banking partners, auditors, and internal stakeholders. • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple discrete priorities in a dynamic, high-volume environment and provide timely follow-up and resolution. • Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or a comparable ERP preferred. • Insurance, TPA, claims administration, trust/fiduciary, or other multi-entity, high-transaction-volume experience preferred. Education & Experience • Bachelor's or master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline. • CPA or active progress toward one is a plus. • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including demonstrated supervisory or lead experience.
