Job Description
Accounting Advisory Senior Associate
HOUSTON TX
The Opportunity
While others simply verify the books, you will be the one writing them. As a Technical Accounting Advisory Associate, you are the "accountant’s accountant." You will be deployed as a subject matter expert to solve the most complex technical hurdles facing modern finance departments. This isn't about administrative support; it’s about high-level GAAP application, financial statement reconstruction, and technical memo authorship for organizations undergoing massive structural changes.
What You’ll Do
-
Complex Technical Research: Act as the primary resource for interpreting and implementing complex accounting standards (e.g., ASC 606, 842, 326, and 805).
-
Financial Statement Preparation: Lead the "heavy lifting" of preparing audit-ready financial statements and SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, S-1) for companies going public or carved out of parent entities.
-
Audit Remediation: Step into high-pressure environments to clean up complex reconciliations, correct historical accounting errors, and restate financials when necessary.
-
Policy Architecture: Develop and document formal accounting policies that standardize how global enterprises recognize revenue, value assets, and manage equity.
-
Deal Support: Perform technical accounting due diligence, ensuring that business combinations are recorded accurately from Day 1.
Who You Are
-
The Technical Purist: You find genuine satisfaction in the nuances of the FASB codification and take pride in precise financial reporting.
-
The Detail Detective: You can dive into a messy General Ledger and extract a clean, GAAP-compliant narrative.
-
The Subject Matter Expert: You are the person your peers go to when they have a difficult question about "debit and credit" logic in complex transactions.
-
The Translator: You can take a 50-page legal contract and distill its financial impact into a clear, concise technical memo.
Qualifications & Skills
-
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting (specifically).
-
Experience: 2–5 years of "heavy" accounting experience. We are specifically looking for Big 4/Top 10 Audit Seniors or Financial Reporting Accountants from large public companies.
-
Certification: Active CPA license is highly preferred.
-
Technical Mastery: Deep, working knowledge of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). You should be comfortable explaining the mechanics of a cash flow statement or a consolidated balance sheet under pressure.
-
Software Proficiency: Advanced Excel (building complex models from scratch) and experience with ERP systems like NetSuite, SAP, or Workday.
