Job Description

Manager, SEC External Reporting & Technical Accounting
Location: Richmond Heights, MO

Why This Role

This is a high-impact opportunity to take ownership of the company’s external reporting function within a growing, dynamic organization. You’ll operate at the center of financial reporting—partnering with leadership, influencing key decisions, and helping shape scalable processes as the business evolves.

If you enjoy solving complex accounting issues, building structure where it doesn’t yet exist, and having clear visibility into how your work drives the business, this role offers both challenge and upside.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual GAAP financial statements, including all disclosures
• Serve as the internal authority on financial reporting—ensuring accuracy, completeness, and consistency across all deliverables
• Lead the company’s relationship with external auditors and drive an efficient, well-managed audit process
• Evaluate and implement new accounting standards, advising leadership on impact and execution
• Research and document technical accounting positions for complex or non-routine transactions
• Oversee reporting implications of financing activities, including debt and equity arrangements
• Strengthen and scale internal controls (including SOX) to support a growing organization
• Partner with the broader accounting team to support the close process and elevate overall quality
• Identify opportunities to streamline reporting, reduce risk, and improve efficiency
• Contribute to system and process enhancements that modernize the reporting environment

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Ownership & Visibility: You’ll own the financial statements and work closely with leadership and auditors
• Growth Environment: Opportunity to build and improve processes in a company that is evolving
• Technical Depth: Exposure to complex accounting issues and meaningful decision-making
• Impact: Your work directly influences the company’s financial integrity and external presentation

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting/Finance (Master’s a plus)
• CPA is preferred not required
• 4+ years of public accounting auditing experience/corporate public company SEC financial reporting experience

Experience in one of the following areas:

• Direct ownership of full GAAP financial statements, including footnotes and disclosures, and/or
• Public accounting experience as an Audit Manager or in-charge Senior supporting SEC registrants, with full financial statement review responsibility

Core Skill Set:

• Strong command of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• High attention to detail with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Clear and confident communicator of complex accounting concepts
• Self-starter who can work independently while collaborating cross-functionally
