Accounting Manager

Description

Our companies solve meaningful problems that positively impact the world. Take Sportworks: since 1990, it has designed and engineered bike transit solutions that connect people and cities, from the industry's first Bike-Rack-for-Buses in 1993 to today's rail and micro-mobility systems. Millions of people use our products every month. Our bar is high, and we're unapologetically driven to do great work. Now we're looking for an Accounting Manager who holds the numbers behind that work to the same standard. 

As Accounting Manager, you'll own the full-cycle accounting function across Silver Falls Capital and its portfolio companies. You'll report to the Controller and direct the day-to-day work and outcomes of our accounting team. You'll lead through expertise, priorities, and accountability for results. You'll own the monthly close, keep every entity's financials accurate and GAAP-compliant, and help integrate new businesses as we acquire them.

Our Culture: The Silver Falls Way

Culture isn't something we bolted on, it's how we work. We call it The Silver Falls Way, five values that guide everything we do: Purpose, People, Truth, Humility, and Possibility. Our culture is what sets us apart: it's how we attract people who care, keep them for the long term, and turn that commitment into better products and better outcomes for our customers. In practice, that means we invest in our people, empowering them to think big, take risks, and grow into their full potential, and we expect honesty and candor from everyone, ourselves included. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close as the control owner, delivering complete, accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements for every entity and as a consolidated group.

• Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts for the parent company and all portfolio companies.

• Review AR, AP, bank reconciliations, accruals, journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and intercompany activity.

• Maintain an effective internal control environment, including separation of duties, grants of authority, balance sheet reconciliations, and approval controls.

• Direct the accounting team's daily work, lead close standups, set priorities, and escalate issues to the Controller.

• Own federal, state, local, sales and use, property, cross-border, and business license filings.

• Serve as a key contact along with the Controller for external CPA firms on annual tax filings, reviews, and audits.

• Onboard newly acquired entities, align charts of accounts, assess control environments, and identify filing requirements.

• Build Standard Operating Procedures, standard work, and visual tools that track close status, open issues, AR, and AP.

• Use the Silver Falls Way, Lean, and AI tools to automate work, shorten close time, and improve accuracy.

• Partner with FP&A, operations, sales, procurement, HR, and legal on accounting accuracy and new initiatives.

Requirements

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.

• CPA or advanced degree in accounting or finance.

• 7+ years of accounting experience, including directing the work of others and leading close processes.

• Direct experience with US GAAP reporting and tax reporting.

• Experience with inventory accounting, lease accounting, and recurring revenue models.

• Experience with acquisition accounting, consolidation, and integration.

• Experience in multi-entity environments and intercompany accounting.

• Experience working within, monitoring, and improving internal control environments.

• Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, Aptean, Oracle) and exceptional Excel skills.

• Experience working with Anthropic AI tools and implementing them into recuring workflows

• Experience working with external CPAs and serving audit/review projects

• Experience with Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement tools.
