ACCOUNTING OPERATIONS MANAGER JOB DESCRIPTION

As the Accounting Operations Manager, you own the month-end and year-end close process, the AP and AR functions, and the internal control environment for an organization's core accounting department, holding the team accountable to accuracy, timeliness, and audit readiness. You will typically report to a Controller or Assistant Controller and lead a team of staff accountants and operations specialists whose output feeds directly into financial statements reviewed by senior leadership and external auditors.

Career Impact: Owning a full accounting operations function, including SOX controls and external audit coordination, builds the operational credibility that separates candidates who advance to Controller and CFO tracks from those who stay in staff roles.

Business Impact: The financial statements that lenders, board members, and regulators read depend on the reconciliations, journal entries, and close processes this role governs each month; errors here surface in the most visible reporting a company produces.

Growth Opportunity: Managing AP, AR, and general ledger functions simultaneously, alongside process improvement and system implementation work, develops the cross-functional accounting breadth that makes candidates competitive for Controller and Director of Accounting roles within three to five years.

• Lead the month-end and year-end close process, including journal entry review, reconciliation sign-off, and financial statement preparation to meet reporting deadlines.
• Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, ensuring invoices are processed accurately, collections are pursued, and vendors are paid within agreed terms.

• Review balance sheet account reconciliations monthly to verify completeness, accuracy, and adherence to US GAAP.
• Partner with FP&A, Treasury, HR, and business unit leaders to align accounting processes with operational changes and support budget variance analysis.
• Drive process improvement and automation initiatives that reduce close cycle time and improve the accuracy of recurring accounting workflows.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent work experience.
• 5 or more years of accounting operations experience, with at least 2 years managing a team of direct reports.
• Demonstrated knowledge of US GAAP and internal control frameworks, including experience in a SOX-compliant environment.

• Ability to oversee full AP and AR functions, including collections management, vendor payment processes, and aging report review.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with a track record of managing multiple concurrent priorities under deadline pressure.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders and external auditors.
• Proven problem-solving ability, with demonstrated initiative in identifying process inefficiencies and implementing improvements.

• CPA license or active CPA candidacy, particularly for roles with external reporting or public company obligations.
• Experience managing a third-party business process outsourcer or shared service center in a record-to-report capacity.
• Prior exposure to multi-entity or multi-currency accounting environments, including intercompany reconciliation and consolidation.
• Familiarity with enterprise resource planning system implementation or migration, including requirements gathering and user acceptance testing.

• Month-end close cycle time in days, benchmarked against the department's stated close calendar.
• Reconciling item aging rate, measuring the percentage of open items exceeding 30 days across balance sheet accounts.
• Audit findings count per cycle, tracking material or repeat findings attributable to accounting operations processes.
• AP invoice processing accuracy rate, reflecting the percentage of invoices posted without rework or correction.
• AR days sales outstanding, measuring the average collection period against contractual payment terms.
• Typical tools: ERP general ledger systems (commonly SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite); spreadsheet and close management platforms (commonly Microsoft Excel, BlackLine, or similar reconciliation tools).

• Base Salary Range: $85,000 to $120,000 annually, varying by market, team size, and industry sector.
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus of 8% to 15% of base salary, tied to close accuracy and team performance metrics.
• Equity: Uncommon at this level in private companies; stock options or RSUs possible at public or pre-IPO employers.
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; the employer typically covers 70% to 90% of employee premiums.
