Senior Accountant, Intercompany and Consolidations

Anthropic•Seattle, WA

8h•$190,000 - $230,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Anthropic's corporate structure is growing in both entity count and transaction complexity; through acquisitions, international expansion, and an increasingly intricate set of intercompany flows. Consolidations and intercompany is now a dedicated pillar within Corporate Accounting, and we are looking for a Senior Accountant to be its first hands-on builder, reporting to the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany. This is a preparer's role with a designer's mandate. You will run the multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and intercompany close in our system of record, and you will own the frameworks that make that close repeatable: elimination logic, cost-allocation models, transaction-flow documentation, and the automation that lets all of it scale as entities and acquisitions are added. The people who do well here can take a complex, ambiguous structure, distill it into something clear, and then build it so it runs the same way every month without them. Success in this role is a balance of strategy and operations; someone who closes the books accurately and on time, and who also leaves each close with fewer manual steps than the one before.

Requirements

Hands-on experience preparing a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation close in an ERP, including intercompany eliminations and currency translation
Working knowledge of US GAAP for consolidations, intercompany transactions, and foreign currency
Experience building or materially redesigning an accounting process, model, or reconciliation — not only operating one that already existed
Advanced spreadsheet and data-handling skills, with the ability to work confidently in large, multi-entity datasets
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice To Haves

CPA, ACA, or equivalent professional accounting qualification
Workday Financials or Workday Financial Consolidation experience, or experience implementing or configuring a consolidation module on another major ERP
Experience operationalizing transfer pricing or intercompany service agreements from the accounting side
Exposure to FX accounting and intercompany settlement processes in partnership with Treasury
Experience integrating acquired entities into a group close
Experience automating close processes through scripting, reporting tools, or AI-assisted tooling
Combination of public accounting background and high-growth or multi-entity operating experience
Comfortable operating lean, resolving ambiguity into documented process, and explaining complex structures simply to finance and non-finance partners

Responsibilities

Prepare and own the monthly and quarterly consolidation close in Workday, including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation, and consolidated reconciliations
Own the intercompany sub-ledger end to end: transaction matching, settlement, balance confirmations, and resolution of out-of-balance positions across entities
Design and maintain the cost-allocation model for shared costs, including pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of flows, and build it to be automatable and defensible
Document intercompany transaction flows and maintain the single source of truth for entity structure, agreements, and elimination logic
Partner with the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany to design the target operating model for the pillar, then build and codify it through operating procedures and controls
Operationalize transfer-pricing arrangements with Tax and support FX and intercompany settlement processes with Treasury
Integrate newly acquired entities into the consolidation and intercompany framework, working alongside M&A Finance Integration
Identify and build automation across the consolidation and intercompany close — in Workday, in reporting tools, and with AI-assisted tooling such as Claude — with a bias toward removing manual work for good
Prepare consolidation and intercompany audit support and serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors on this area
Support technical accounting analysis on consolidation matters, including foreign currency and intercompany arrangements
