What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly skilled and self-driven Director of Accounting specializing in reporting and finance transformation to join our dynamic team
- In this key accounting leadership role, you will own all facets of our internal and external financial reporting, overseeing and enhancing our processes of reporting to management stakeholders and public-company-ready GAAP reporting to our parent Company, CBRE
- You will be a key project manager and leader in a variety of special projects both related to reporting and enhancing our existing processes
- These projects will include driving change in the area of internal controls, enhancing financial systems, and improving the availability and consistency of financial data
- In the role, you will deliver actionable financial insights and solutions, as well as optimize processes to support effective decision-making
- This role requires a proven project manager with excellent accounting and finance acumen, who thrives on finding system-driven solutions and designing efficient processes to meet complex business needs
- You'll have the opportunity to work across a wide range of financial reporting areas, including providing critical information to business leaders, executives, operators, our parent company, and preparing SEC financial statement disclosures
- You’ll be joining a close knit group of high performing, fun loving, karaoke singing (participation not required!) finance and accounting professionals
- We are lovingly known as ‘the money bees’ and have a fantastic team culture and enviable bespoke sweatshirts
- Our team mirrors the Industrious culture - we put people first, always assume positive intent with our colleagues and go out of our way to embrace the Industrious values (head, heart, hands) with our own ‘money bee’ flair
- One of the high points of our year is the team offsite where we take a couple days to connect with one another, have fun and lean in on the strategic vision for the coming year
- You never know what fun surprises our CFO has up his sleeve
- For example, this year we’re staying at a castle
- There will likely be putt-putt, pub trivia, lots of laughter, great food and amazing memories
- You will report directly to our VP, Controller, and will have 2 direct reports (from our Manager of Transformation and our Senior Manager of Reporting)
- Adhere to month-end public company reporting calendar, delivering timely and accurate monthly results; this role is not heavily involved in the GL close, but will drive reporting enhancements, prepare reporting, and deliver monthly reporting to our parent company
- Lead a team of 2 direct reports who will manage transformation & reporting, providing excellent coaching, development and project management
- Perform business performance reviews to evaluate business performance and identify potential business trends or accounting errors
- Deliver accurate and decision-useful monthly financial reporting to business operators and leaders, including relevant financial reporting metrics and bridge from US GAAP reported results to management reporting metrics

- Oversee the global consolidation and intercompany eliminations process
- Drive system-enhancement projects to bring automation to close processes and reporting processes
- Ensure reporting is built in a way that supports statutory reporting needs
- Be a valued thought partner on internal controls projects, and executing projects related to internal controls including the documentation of processes, implementation and monitoring of effective internal controls
- Understand existing processes and identify opportunities for enhancements
- Play a key role in elevating the Company’s existing accounting function through execution and oversight of special projects including systems integration and enhancement, migration of existing acquired businesses and potential future data migrations, the overall design of systems and processes, and developing accounting processes to support on future product innovations rolled-out by the business
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners and leaders to understand business needs, and where reporting and data insights can elevate the business
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 from 2019 to 2023 and recently took 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.
