Job description
Senior Accountant – Global Consolidations
North Suburbs of Chicago | Hybrid
A large, global manufacturing and distribution company operating in 100+ countries is seeking a Senior Accountant to join its consolidations and financial reporting team. This is a highly visible seat at the center of the monthly global close.
It's a strong opportunity for an accountant with 2+ years in reporting or consolidations who wants exposure to M&A integration, legal entity restructurings, and the redesign of a large, complex reporting function.
What You'll Do:
Support the monthly global close, consolidation, and financial reporting across a complex multi-entity structure
Prepare topside journal entries, intercompany eliminations, and investment eliminations
Review intercompany balances and reconciliations, and help strengthen intercompany controls and processes
Build reports and maintain consolidation modules within the company's Oracle-based consolidation platform
Assess the impact of new accounting and reporting rules on systems and support new standard implementations
Prepare and analyze financial statements and reports for accuracy, completeness, and compliance
Partner with Accounting, FP&A, Tax, and Treasury on internal and external reporting needs
Support key projects including acquisitions, divestitures, internal reorganizations, and system integrations
Prepare deliverables for auditors, lenders, sponsors, tax authorities, and other stakeholders
What We're Looking For:
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business
2+ years of accounting experience in financial reporting, consolidations, or technical accounting
CPA strongly preferred
Solid working knowledge of US GAAP
Intermediate Excel (index/match, pivot tables, nested IFs) and comfort with large data sets
Public company or Big 4 experience with public clients preferred
Experience with a consolidation system (Oracle EPM, Tagetik, BPC) a plus
Multinational, multi-entity environment experience a plus
Cash flow statement, Alteryx, or Tableau experience a plus
Why This Role Stands Out:
✅ High-visibility seat at the center of the global close
✅ Exposure to M&A integration, restructurings, and reporting transformation projects
✅ Cross-functional partnership with FP&A, Tax, and Treasury
✅ Large, growing global organization with strong development and continuing education support
✅ Hybrid flexibility in the North Suburbs of Chicago
