This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who closes the books accurately and on time, and who then goes further: interrogating the data, automating the manual work, and turning financial results into insight the business can act on.\n\nWe are looking for a modern accountant. Beyond mastery of GAAP and the close, the successful candidate is genuinely strong in data analysis and has practical experience applying AI and automation tools to accounting workflows. As routine transaction processing becomes increasingly automated, this role is expected to shift toward reviewing automated output, investigating anomalies, strengthening controls, and advising business partners. The role also carries public‑company readiness responsibilities, including SOX‑aligned internal controls and audit readiness.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nPrepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, including supporting schedules and management commentary.\n\nEnsure compliance with U.S. GAAP and applicable financial reporting standards.\n\nManage consolidation of financial data across multiple entities, including intercompany eliminations and foreign currency translation.\n\nSupport the preparation of reporting packages for executive leadership, the board, lenders, and investors.\n\n2. General Ledger and Month-End Close\n\nOwn the month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close calendar, driving accuracy, completeness, and a shortening close cycle.\n\nReview and approve journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, and adjustments.\n\nMaintain the chart of accounts and accounting policy documentation.\n\nTrack and report close‑cycle metrics, and set measurable targets for reducing days‑to‑close.\n\n3. Technical Accounting\n\nResearch and document positions on technical accounting matters; prepare accounting memos supporting significant judgments.\n\nApply revenue recognition (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842), and equity compensation (ASC 718) standards as applicable.\n\nMonitor new and emerging accounting pronouncements and assess their impact on the organization.\n\n4. Budgeting, Forecasting, and Analysis\n\nPartner with FP&A and business leaders to develop budgets and forecasts.\n\nMonitor actual results against budget and prior periods; investigate, quantify, and clearly explain variances.\n\nBuild and maintain analytical models and dashboards that give leadership timely visibility into financial performance.\n\n5. Compliance, Internal Controls, and Audit\n\nDesign, document, and maintain internal controls over financial reporting to safeguard company assets.\n\nBuild and operate SOX‑aligned control frameworks in support of public‑company readiness; own control narratives, risk and control matrices, and testing remediation.\n\nCoordinate external audits and reviews: prepare PBC schedules, manage the request list, and respond to auditor inquiries.\n\nMaintain audit‑ready documentation standards and evidence retention throughout the year, not only at year‑end.\n\n6. Data Analysis, Systems, and AI\n\nUse data analysis to test the integrity of financial data at scale — full‑population testing, anomaly detection, trend and ratio analysis — rather than relying on sampling alone.\n\nApply AI and automation tools to accounting workflows: reconciliation matching, transaction classification, flux analysis, document extraction, and close‑task automation. Critically review AI‑generated output and remain accountable for its accuracy.\n\nBuild and maintain reporting in BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and advanced Excel; query source data directly where needed (SQL or equivalent).\n\nOwn the accounting system of record (NetSuite), including configuration, integrations, and data hygiene; partner with IT and RevOps on system upgrades and implementations.\n\nEstablish sound governance for AI use in accounting — data privacy, auditability, human review, and documentation of how automated outputs are validated.\n\nSupervise, mentor, and develop accounting staff; set clear expectations and provide regular, direct feedback.\n\nManage team performance, conduct evaluations, and build a bench through training and stretch assignments.\n\nBuild a team culture that is curious about the numbers and comfortable with new tools.\n\n8. Process Improvement\n\nIdentify and eliminate manual, low‑value work; implement scalable accounting processes and best practices.\n\nLead automation projects end to end — from identifying the opportunity through design, testing, rollout, and measurement of results.\n\nDocument processes so that they are repeatable, transferable, and auditable.\n\n9. Tax and Regulatory Filings\n\nOversee the preparation and submission of tax filings (income, sales and use, property) in coordination with external tax advisors.\n\nEnsure compliance with reporting requirements including 1099s, payroll taxes, and multi‑state and international registrations.\n\n10. Ad Hoc Projects\n\nSupport strategic initiatives including M&A due diligence and integration, financing events, system upgrades, and special analyses.\n\nQualifications and Skills\nEducation and Experience\n\nBachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA required (or active candidate); public accounting experience strongly preferred.\n\nMinimum of 5–7 years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or management role.\n\nExperience in a multi‑entity and multi‑currency environment.\n\nExposure to SOX, public‑company reporting, or IPO/audit‑readiness work is a strong plus.\n\nTechnical Skills\n\nStrong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting standards.\n\nProficiency in NetSuite (or a comparable enterprise ERP such as SAP, Oracle, or Workday) and advanced Excel, including complex models, pivot tables, Power Query, and large‑dataset work.\n\nStrong data analysis capability — able to pull, join, validate, and interrogate large financial datasets, identify anomalies and root causes, and present findings clearly to non‑finance audiences. Working knowledge of SQL and/or a BI tool (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) expected; Python or R a plus.\n\nDemonstrated AI experience — practical, hands‑on use of AI or machine‑learning tools in a finance or accounting context, such as automating reconciliations and close tasks, AI‑assisted document and invoice processing, anomaly and fraud detection, or AI‑supported research and drafting. Should be able to describe specific workflows they have improved, the results delivered, and how they validated the output.\n\nFamiliarity with close‑management, reconciliation, or AP/AR automation platforms (e.g., FloQast, BlackLine, Bill.com, Ramp, Avalara) is a plus.\n\nStrong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the judgment to know when a number is wrong before anyone else does.\n\nIntellectual curiosity and a bias toward automating repetitive work rather than absorbing it.\n\nExcellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and hard deadlines.\n\nExceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain financial results and technical positions to non‑finance stakeholders.\n\nHigh ownership and integrity; comfortable operating with limited direction in a fast‑moving environment.\n\nDemonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and inspire a team.\n\nWith an outstanding product and a mission that excites and inspires, Appodeal offers a unique opportunity to make an impact while being part of an amazing team.\n\nJoin us and help shape the future of mobile app success!\n\n#J-18808-Ljbffr","company":"Appodeal","rawCompany":"appodeal","city":"Brooklyn","state":"NY","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-09-04T03:28:01.019Z","occupations":[{"code":"13-2011.00","title":"Accountants and Auditors","slug":"accountants-and-auditors"},{"code":"11-3031.01","title":"Treasurers and Controllers","slug":"treasurers-and-controllers"},{"code":"43-3031.00","title":"Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks","slug":"bookkeeping-accounting-and-auditing-clerks"}],"industries":[{"code":"541219","title":"Other Accounting Services","slug":"other-accounting-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541211","title":"Offices of Certified Public Accountants","slug":"offices-of-certified-public-accountants"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Accounting Manager","description":"Appodeal is a dynamic US-based product company with a truly global presence.\n\nWe have offices in Warsaw, Barcelona and Parkland (FL), along with remote team members located around the world.\n\nOur company thrives on diversity, collaboration, and innovation, making us a leader in the mobile app monetization space.\n\nAt Appodeal, we’re more than just a company—we’re a team united by a common mission: Help people discover and grow their talents through products that enable successful mobile app businesses!\n\nWe take pride in our cutting-edge product and our internationally dispersed team of talented professionals.\n\nHere’s what we value, and what we hope you do too:\n\nContinuous Learning and Growth: We are passionate about learning, growing personally, and building rewarding careers.\n\nMaking an Impact: We are committed to building a history-defining company that leaves a lasting impact on the mobile app industry.\n\nSolving Exciting Challenges: We tackle complex problems every day, supported by a team of world‑class professionals and mentors.\n\nEnjoying the Journey: We believe in having fun while working toward our goals.\n\nPosition Overview\nThe Accounting Manager owns the day-to-day accounting operations of the organization — financial reporting, the general ledger, technical accounting compliance, and the accounting team.
