Legora Technical Accounting Manager at Legora leads US GAAP accounting for complex transactions and owns accounting policies across multiple areas. This role involves managing auditor relationships and shaping accounting practices during rapid company growth and ERP implementation.

Responsibilities

This is a builder role. Many of our policies are being written for the first time, our entity footprint is expanding across Europe, the Americas and APAC, and we are mid-ERP implementaion. You will shape how we account for all of it, not just maintain what exists.
Research, document and conclude on complex transactions under US GAAP, writing clear, audit-ready memos.
Own accounting policies for key areas, including revenue (ASC 606: contract modifications, credits and concessions, multi-element SaaS arrangements), leases (ASC 842, including incremental borrowing rate), stock-based compensation (ASC 718) and income taxes support (ASC 740) with our tax team.
Support business combination accounting (ASC 805): purchase price allocation, valuation coordination with third-party specialists, and post-acquisition integration of acquired entities.
Advise on intercompany and transfer pricing mechanics, foreign currency (ASC 830) and the accounting for new entities as we enter new markets.
Monitor new and emerging standards and assess their impact on Legora.
Act as a primary point of contact for our external auditors on your areas: prepare support, answer technical questions and resolve findings.
Manage and review the work of external technical accounting and valuation advisors, keeping deliverables on time and in scope.
Design and document controls over technical accounting areas and non-routine transactions, in partnership with internal audit.
7+ years of accounting experience, starting in Big 4, with a few years in a technical accounting or financial reporting role in industry.
CPA or an equivalent qualification.
Deep, current US GAAP knowledge, especially ASC 606, 842, 718 and 805, and a track record of writing memos that auditors accept.
