Accounting Manager - Korean/English Speaking

Xealth•Seattle, WA

21d•$100,000 - $175,000

About The Position

About the Role We are seeking a bilingual (Korean/English) accounting professional who thrives in a dynamic, hands-on environment where no two days are the same. This role is perfect for someone who has cut their teeth in smaller organizations where you wear multiple hats—and has the IFRS technical expertise to back it up. You'll be equally comfortable processing vendor payments on Monday and preparing consolidated financial statements on Friday. The Reality of This Role This is not a specialized, single-function position. This is a role that requires wearing many hats, and enjoying the variety! This is also very much an IC role, requiring you to roll up your sleeves and jump in. We are looking for someone who: Embraces variety: Your day might include AP processing, revenue recognition analysis, financial reporting, and assisting with audit requests Thinks like an owner: In small companies, you can't just say “that's not my job”—you figure it out Brings technical depth: When complex IFRS questions arise, you're the person who can research and resolve them Communicates across cultures: Your Korean language skills enable seamless collaboration with our parent company

Requirements

5-8 years of progressive accounting experience
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

Experience with full accounting cycle from AP to financial statements
Fluent in Korean and English (speaking, reading, writing)
Comfortable communicating complex accounting matters in both languages
Experience working in cross-cultural business environments
Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, vlookups, complex formulas)
Comfortable learning new systems quickly

Have small company DNA: You've worked where everyone pitches in, resources are limited, and scrappiness matters
Are technically strong: You can navigate IFRS standards, not just follow checklists
Stay organized in chaos: You can juggle multiple priorities without dropping balls
