Role Overview

The Accounting Manager owns day-to-day accounting operations across the RZR group, partnering with the Senior Finance Manager and accounting team to maintain a clean, controlled, audit-ready ledger across every jurisdiction. Scope covers the full O2C, P2P, and R2R cycles at group level: AR, AP, GL, multi-entity close, intercompany and consolidation, multi-currency reconciliations, payroll accounting, statutory compliance coordination, audit management, and global internal controls.

Although based in our Bengaluru office, the role is global. The candidate must be flexible with working hours and willing to overlap with US, UK, and APAC time zones, including early-morning and late-evening calls and occasional weekend work during close.

Key Responsibilities

GL & Multi-Entity Close

• Own month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close across all entities on the published group calendar (WD+5 target).
• Review and approve JEs — accruals, prepaids, depreciation, intercompany allocations, multi-currency forex revaluation.
• Own balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany / transfer-pricing eliminations as part of group consolidation.
• Maintain a clean NetSuite multi-subsidiary COA and enforce posting hygiene.
• Partner with Senior Finance Manager and VP Controller on US GAAP, Ind AS, and local GAAP judgments.

Global AR & AP

• Coordinate with HR and external payroll providers in each geography for accurate, timely, compliant payroll.
• Reconcile payroll-related GL accounts monthly with documented evidence; partner on headcount-cost reporting.

Global Internal Controls & Compliance

• Design, document, and enforce internal controls across O2C, P2P, R2R, payroll — consistently across entities.
• Maintain and version-control SOPs; run periodic walkthroughs and self-testing.
• Coordinate statutory compliance support across jurisdictions with internal teams and local external consultants.
• Partner with VP Controller on the global controls framework, SOX-style documentation, and group reporting.

Audit Management

• Lead statutory and group audits end-to-end for the HQ and all subsidiaries — own auditor relationships, evidence packages, walkthroughs, and timely query responses.
• Prepare lead sheets, schedules, and evidence binders per entity for both statutory and US-side auditors.

Backup & Step-In Coverage

• Act as primary backup for AR, AP, GL, and payroll — able to execute hands-on whenever team members are unavailable.
• Step into the Internal Controls (IC) owner role whenever needed — control design, testing, evidence review, remediation.
• Ensure no single point of failure exists in finance: cross-train, document, maintain readiness to cover any seat.

Business Partnering & Reporting

• Partner with FP&A on group-level actuals-to-forecast variance explanations and monthly flash reporting.
• Provide accurate management reports — flux analysis, expense reports, balance-sheet reviews — at entity and group level.
• Coach and mentor finance executives/analysts; drive process improvements and automation in NetSuite.
