About the Role:

As Manager, Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting, you will lead our global audit and reporting processes, partnering with leadership, auditors, and international teams across multiple jurisdictions. You'll bring structure to a complex environment, coordinating audits, strengthening reporting processes, and helping evolve how finance operates within a fast-growing, global SaaS company.

This is a high-ownership individual contributor role without direct reports, where you will have end-to-end responsibility for key areas of financial reporting and audit coordination.

You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing competing priorities in a dynamic setting. Success in this role requires strong organization, adaptability, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

You'll also play a key role in modernizing financial reporting by leveraging AI and emerging technologies to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability, helping move the team away from manual processes toward a more streamlined, forward-looking approach.

This role offers a strong foundation for growth, with hands-on exposure to international reporting, technical accounting, and cross-functional collaboration. You'll work closely with senior leadership, including the Controller and CFO, in a highly visible position where you can make a meaningful impact quickly by improving and shaping financial reporting processes at 3E.

This is not a typical industry accounting role, it's a high-impact opportunity to step out of public accounting and take ownership of global financial reporting from day one.

Location: East Coast preferred (U.S.) | Hybrid (Bethesda, MD or Carlsbad, CA) or Remote

What You'll Do

• Lead global audit coordination, partnering with Deloitte and local auditors across multiple international jurisdictions
• Own the preparation and review of financial statements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with US GAAP and local statutory requirements
• Drive technical accounting research and implementation, supporting evolving business needs and regulatory changes
• Quarterback cross-functional audit processes, working closely with Legal, Tax, Treasury, and international stakeholders
• Review and oversee international statutory reporting, partnering with local accounting teams and external providers
• Introduce efficiency and consistency across reporting, helping transition toward a more unified global audit approach
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise) to enhance financial statement review, automate processes, and improve accuracy
• Prepare materials and insights for senior leadership, contributing to high-visibility financial discussions

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 3+ years public accounting experience (Big 4 or Top 10) required, with a focus on audit; Manager-level experience preferred, though high-performing Senior Associates with strong financial reporting exposure will also be considered
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• CPA required
• Strong foundation in US GAAP and financial statement preparation/review
• Experience coordinating or supporting external audits in a public accounting environment
• Exposure to international audits or statutory reporting is highly preferred, with an understanding of how to review and coordinate across multiple jurisdictions (you are not expected to be an expert in every region)
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and shifting deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• High attention to detail with strong organizational and follow-through skills
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across global teams
• Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP systems preferred
• Interest in leveraging AI and technology to improve finance processes
