Reporting to the Director of Accounting, you will lead the EMEA local close and statutory audits, own the filing calendar, oversee the US GAAP to local GAAP conversion work produced by our India-based outsourced accounting team, and partner with Tax, Legal, and Business Technology to automate statutory and compliance processes in NetSuite. This is a hands-on opportunity to build a best-in-class statutory and compliance function across EMEA for a high-growth company.
AT APPLIED INTUITION, YOU WILL
Own the preparation, review, and sign-off of statutory financial statements for our EMEA entities under local GAAP (UK GAAP/FRS 102, German HGB, Swedish K2/K3, and IFRS as endorsed in Saudi Arabia), including the US GAAP to local GAAP conversion and bridge work papers.
Lead each statutory audit end to end with our external auditors, from planning and PBC lists through audit queries, adjustments, and management representation letters, closing audits on schedule.
Run the EMEA month-end on the US close calendar: review and sign off statutory balance sheet reconciliations, drive aged reconciling items to zero, and maintain local GAAP schedules such as leases and accrued vacation.
Own the EMEA statutory and compliance filing calendar, covering VAT, corporate income tax and zakat (with Tax and external advisers), company registry filings, and annual accounts, so every filing goes in on time with no notices from authorities.
Manage the quality and performance of our India-based outsourced accounting team and of in-country auditors, tax advisers, and accounting providers, and turn statutory and conversion workpapers into standard templates the team can run with minimal rework.
Partner with Business Technology to automate statutory reporting, VAT, and e-invoicing in NetSuite, design and document the related controls, and bring new entities and regulatory changes (for example, FRS 102 amendments and German and Saudi e-invoicing mandates) into the process ahead of effective dates.
