Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience, ideally with high-growth industry experience working directly with foreign entities. Blending of "Big 4" public accounting a plus
- Deep international fluency and technical expertise in transfer pricing, statutory requirements, and the nuances of indirect tax across various global jurisdictions
- Prior experience in a subscription-based or SaaS environment, demonstrating a strong understanding of fast-paced, recurring-revenue business models
- A solid educational foundation with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. An active CPA license (or active progress toward one) is highly preferred
- Advanced ERP and tech stack proficiency, specifically with NetSuite (or comparable enterprise ERPs), Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace
- Exceptional communication and relationship skills, with a proven ability to distill complex international accounting concepts into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders
- A strong track record as an independent contributor, possessing the execution focus and organizational tact required to manage diverse external relationships without direct oversight
What the job involves
- We are seeking an International Accounting Manager who will own the end-to-end accounting processes for our expanding international entities
- Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Accounting, you won't just be managing numbers—you will be at the forefront of our global expansion engine, partnering with internal teams and external local experts to ensure our international financials are complete, accurate, and fully compliant
- This is your opportunity to build scalable global processes, act as a trusted subject matter expert, and directly influence our international growth trajectory
- On a typical day, you might:
- Drive the month-end engine by leading the global close process for six (and counting) international entities, ensuring all financials strictly comply with both Local and US GAAP requirements
- Validate account balances through rigorous, detailed reviews of reconciliations and journal entries prepared by both internal teams and third-party accounting firms
- Act as the strategic leader for statutory compliance, serving as the primary point of contact for international audits and managing the end-to-end filing of VAT, GST, and other local indirect taxes
- Orchestrate global treasury operations, overseeing international banking relationships, executing complex intercompany transactions, managing liquidity, and acting as the final approver for international payments
- Manage third-party performance by holding external international service providers accountable to strict SLAs, ensuring high-quality outputs on tight deadlines
- Serve as the internal subject matter expert for new international business initiatives, proactively providing guidance on accounting, tax, and transfer pricing implications before they launch
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to streamline existing global processes, moving beyond the status quo to design and implement "leading practice" workflows for a scalable future
Our take
Marketing and CRM tools are essential to scale a business in the current landscape. Existing tools for optimising engagement, scalability and data analytics have surged in popularity, but many solutions remain unaffordable for small businesses.
ActiveCampaign provides an integrated platform for email marketing, marketing automation and CRM, with the focus on providing businesses with the ability to optimise customer experiences. The platform leverages machine learning and automation to increase the rate at which its clients can scale their engagement levels, regardless of whether the user is running a small or large business.
Despite high-profile competitors, the company has found a gap in the market by providing an integrated and unified solution combining hundreds of tools. The platform is available as an entire package for enterprises, but smaller companies can opt for cheaper and streamlined tool kits. In 2022, ActiveCampaign announced the implementation of over 400 customer ideas into its product. It has also partnered with ActiveEngine, the first ActiveCampaign-only agency, to enable businesses to make better discovery calls and close more deals. With the 2024 opening of a hub in Krakow, it is further expanding its European footprint.
