Accounting Manager

Our client is seeking an Accounting Manager to join its finance team in Nashville and work closely with the Nashville based CFO, and Manchester, UK based Controller and finance organization. This will be a broad, hands-on accounting role supporting the business across multiple entities and jurisdictions. While this individual will serve as an important resource for U.S.-specific accounting and compliance matters, the position will not be limited to the U.S. business. The Accounting Manager will support global accounting and consolidation activities, help establish scalable processes and best practices, and partner with third-party advisors on jurisdiction-specific requirements. This is an opportunity to join a growing international organization at an important stage of its U.S. expansion and have meaningful involvement in continuing to build and strengthen the company's accounting and finance infrastructure. The role will also provide significant development opportunities through exposure to international accounting and finance, including the opportunity to develop knowledge of UK GAAP alongside U.S. GAAP, broaden experience across multiple jurisdictions, and work closely with the Group finance team as the organization continues to scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and review financial statements, management reporting, account analyses, and supporting schedules.
• Support external audit, tax, and statutory reporting requirements across applicable jurisdictions.
• Utilize NetSuite to support accounting and reporting activities and identify opportunities to improve processes, reporting, and overall ERP utilization.
• Partner with leadership and cross-functional teams to address accounting and finance needs across the business.
• Take on additional accounting and finance responsibilities as the organization and U.S. presence continue to grow.
