Role
Who you are
- You thrive when given full ownership of a process and enjoy rolling up your sleeves to understand the 'why' behind the numbers
- You are a natural translator who loves speaking with non-finance partners, turning complex HR and IT activities into clear accounting outcomes
- You find energy in a condensed, high-stakes month-end close where accuracy and speed matter
- You enjoy taking a newly built framework, learning its intricacies, and finding ways to make it more efficient over time
- You are highly communicative and responsive, valuing strong team connection even when working in a remote or hybrid setup
- 4 to 6 years of relevant accounting experience, ideally within a multi-entity or global environment
- Direct experience managing global payroll accounting processes
- Proficiency in accounting systems like NetSuite and Workday, alongside advanced Excel skills
- Strong understanding of US GAAP, with exposure to software capitalization highly preferred
- A Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or progress toward a CPA is a strong plus)
What the job involves
- As a newly public-backed company, our financial operations are evolving rapidly, and we need a dedicated expert to bridge the gap between our People, IT, and Finance teams. Reporting to our Senior Accounting Manager, you will own our global payroll accounting and take the lead on a newly established software labor capitalization process that directly impacts our bottom line
- It is the second business day of the month, which means you are deep into the core month- end close
- You start your morning by pulling the latest global payroll data from Workday, partnering closely with the People team to ensure all new hires, transfers, and compensation changes across North America, Europe, and APAC are accurately captured
- You translate this data, ensuring it flows perfectly into NetSuite for the management team to review
- In the afternoon, you jump on a call with our IT and Engineering leaders
- We have recently implemented a new policy to capitalize software development labor costs, and you are taking the reins from an external contractor who set up the initial framework
- You ask the right questions to understand exactly which development projects qualify, ensuring our accounting reflects the true value of the technology we are building
- Before logging off, you review your journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations, knowing that your meticulous work over these first three days of the month sets the foundation for our broader corporate reporting to CBRE
- Global payroll accounting across North America, Europe, and APAC, ensuring accurate journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analysis
- Management of software development labor capitalization process, partnering with the Digital team to ensure compliance with internal policies
- Month-end close responsibilities for your dedicated areas, hitting strict three-day internal deadlines before moving into post-close analysis
- Collaboration with the People team to ensure all employee lifecycle changes are reflected in the correct accounting period
- Development and refinement of internal controls and procedures to help the accounting function achieve and maintain SOC compliance
Our take
Industrious was founded in 2012 when its creators noticed that people often work d better in hotel lobbies and coffee shops than in traditional offices. This inspired the company to develop flexible workspaces that blend the casual environment of public spaces with the resources, security, and professionalism of an office setting.
Shared flexible workspaces are nothing new, but Industrious has successfully differentiated itself from larger competitors like WeWork by focusing on management contracts with landlords rather than leasing properties. The company has seen its revenue triple in recent years and has even taken over WeWork's former headquarters in Manhattan.
As demand for smaller, flexible office spaces grows, Industrious is thriving. With partnerships like CBRE and its expansion into key markets, the company is ready to capitalize on the shifting trends in office space.
