Senior Accounting Manager: General Ledger Process Optimization

Seattle, WA / Remote

Are you an experienced Accounting Manager with a good sense of humor, a rock-solid work ethic, deep understanding of Oracle and mind-blowing attention to detail? If so, we've got a home for you here on our world class Accounting and Finance team. We've built a truly exceptional team of Accounting professionals who take their jobs, but not themselves, very seriously.

More about you

You enjoy process optimization and system improvement projects, are a CPA, and have 12-15 years experience in accounting roles in multinational public companies and/or public accounting firms and have extensive knowledge of Oracle Fusion. You have prior experience in the more complex areas of Oracle that the general ledger teams work in such as intercompany, remeasurement, and fixed assets, and you are looking for a role where you can build refined processes in these areas. We'd love for you to have experience in business process optimization, including business process automation, robotic process automation (RPA), and machine learning. Finally, you enjoy interacting with other teammates to educate them on Oracle and ensure projects are delivered timely.
