Senior Accounting Manager – Corporate Accounting
Chicago, IL | Hybrid | ~$170K
We’re partnering with a large, publicly traded global organization to identify a Senior Accounting Manager to join their corporate finance team.
This is a unique hybrid role blending core accounting, FP&A exposure, and financial systems ownership — ideal for someone who enjoys both technical accounting and driving process/system improvements.
The Opportunity
This role sits at the center of corporate finance, overseeing close, reporting, and planning activities while also serving as a key resource for financial systems and process optimization .
You’ll work cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A, and IT, helping to improve reporting accuracy, streamline workflows, and enhance decision-making capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close for corporate cost centers
- Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis
- Maintain and enhance internal controls and accounting policies (GAAP)
- Own budgeting and forecasting processes for corporate functions
- Build financial models and scenario analysis to support leadership decisions
- Partner closely with FP&A and operational teams
- Act as a systems lead for financial platforms (ERP + consolidation/reporting tools)
- Drive system enhancements, integrations, and process improvements
- Support strategic initiatives and special projects
- Mentor and support junior team members
What They’re Looking For
- 6–10+ years of progressive accounting experience
- CPA or advanced degree preferred
- Strong foundation in corporate accounting and U.S. GAAP
- Experience with ERP and financial reporting systems (JDE, OneStream, or similar)
- Background in budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
- Strong analytical mindset with ability to operate cross-functionally
- Systems-oriented thinker who enjoys improving processes
Why This Role Stands Out
- Blend of accounting + FP&A + systems ownership (rare combo)
- High visibility across finance and operational leadership
- Opportunity to drive real process and system improvements
- Stable, global platform with strong resources and growth
- Hybrid schedule with a collaborative team environment
