About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Accounting Manager to join our dynamic team at Industrious. Reporting directly to the Assistant Controller, this role will play a crucial part in our accounting operations and financial reporting processes. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in GAAP, excellent leadership skills, and the ability to work cross-functionally with various departments.

As our Senior Accounting Manager, you will play an active role in the month-end close process, financial statement preparation, and management reporting for our global operations. You will lead a team of accountants, both onshore and offshore, while collaborating closely with department heads to ensure accurate expense accruals and financial analysis.

You’ll be joining a close knit group of high performing, fun loving, karaoke singing (participation not required!) finance and accounting professionals. We are lovingly known as ‘the moneybees’ and have a fantastic team culture and enviable bespoke sweatshirts. Our team mirrors the Industrious culture - we put people first, always assume positive intent with our colleagues and go out of our way to embrace the Industrious values (head, heart, hands) with our own ‘moneybee’ flair. One of the high points of our year is the team offsite where we take a couple days to connect with one another, have fun and lean in on the strategic vision for the coming year. You never know what fun surprises our CFO has up his sleeve. For example, this year we’re staying at a castle! There will likely be putt-putt, pub trivia, lots of laughter, great food and amazing memories.

• Support the company’s Landlord Reporting team with accounting expertise, know-how and excellent communication skills by participating in calls and correspondence with landlords.
• Manage and improve internal controls and accounting processes, identifying areas for efficiency gains and policy enhancements, while maintaining high standards for SOX compliance and audit readiness.
