Accounting Manager, Consolidations & Intercompany
About The Position
The Accounting Manager, Consolidations & Intercompany will report to the Director of Accounting and own the monthly consolidation and intercompany accounting function across a complex, multi-currency group of 50+ legal entities. This role is responsible for producing an accurate, timely, and fully eliminated consolidated financial statement, and for maintaining the integrity of all intercompany transactions, balances, and loan arrangements across the group. As a private equity–backed company that grows through frequent acquisitions, Create adds new legal entities on a regular basis. This position is critical to that strategy — standing up newly acquired entities within the consolidation structure, establishing intercompany frameworks and eliminations, and partnering closely with the tax team on transfer pricing. The ideal candidate combines strong technical consolidation expertise with the operational discipline to build scalable, audit-ready processes in a fast-moving M&A environment.

- Strong understanding of US GAAP, foreign currency translation, and internal controls in a fast-scaling organization
