Senior Manager, Accounting( Consolidations)

The Senior Manager, Consolidations and Intercompany Accounting will manage the global financial consolidation process and intercompany accounting activities within the Global Coffee Company’s Controllership organization. The role is responsible for the integrity, timeliness, and continuous improvement of monthly, quarterly, and annual consolidated financial results, including consolidation entries, intercompany matching and eliminations, consolidated cash flow and equity reporting, administration of related consolidation and close tools, and operational leadership for implementation of the company’s consolidation platform. The Senior Manager will also support the controlled integration of acquisitions, joint ventures, legal entity changes, and other organizational transformations into the company’s consolidated reporting environment.

This leader will partner closely with the Director, Accounting, business unit and regional controllers, Global Business Services, External Reporting, Technical Accounting, FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Legal, IT, Internal Audit, and external auditors.
