Job description

Position Overview

nTiffany & Co. is seeking a Staff Accountant to join the Consolidations, Reporting & Corporate Accounting team at our Whippany, NJ corporate office. This is an entry-level opportunity within a high-performing team that has been deliberately redesigned to develop early-career accounting talent - offering a recent graduate the chance to build a strong technical foundation across a broad range of corporate accounting disciplines within one of the world's most iconic luxury brands.

nThe Staff Accountant owns a broad portfolio of recurring monthly close deliverables spanning cash accounting, debt and loan entries, royalty and intragroup fee accruals, intercompany processing, and balance sheet and P&L analytics across a global structure of corporate holding entities.

nThis role also participates actively in the team's process improvement and automation agenda - contributing to the build-out of automated templates and workflows that are changing how the team operates, and developing the systems fluency and analytical discipline that are the foundation for a long-term career in corporate accounting.
