[Hiring] Senior Accountant @BibliU

Role Description

BibliU is looking for two Senior Accountants to take end to end ownership of core accounting processes across our multi-entity group. This role sits close to the detail: closing the books accurately every month, partnering across Finance, Legal, Tax, and Treasury to get accounting treatment right, and spotting where controls or processes need to improve before they become a problem. You will report to the Corporate Controller and be a key driver of the accuracy and scalability of our accounting function as the group grows.

• Perform and manage monthly, quarterly, and annual close activities, including reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statement preparation across group entities;
• Support the preparation, review, and filing of external financial reports as applicable to the group's reporting obligations;
• Take end to end ownership of accounting processes and projects, exercising judgment to keep the close moving and ensure the right decisions get made under time pressure;
• Partner with Finance, Legal, Tax, Treasury, and other cross functional stakeholders to understand business initiatives and assess their accounting implications;
• Assess the effectiveness of controls in your area and contribute to the design of new controls as the business grows and processes evolve;
• Identify and implement process improvement and automation opportunities that improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across the accounting function;
• Research and document technical accounting positions on significant or non routine transactions;
• Assess risk and internal control considerations, escalating issues to leadership with clear context and recommendations;
• Analyze complex processes and financial data to identify root causes and surface actionable insights.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field;
• 5 to 10 years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month end and quarter end close;
• Solid understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting, with exposure to more than one jurisdiction (multi-entity experience a strong plus);
• Advanced Excel skills: reconciliations, complex formulas, and data analysis;
• Comfortable using AI tools to improve accuracy or efficiency in day to day accounting work;
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience partnering across departments such as Legal, Tax, or Treasury;
• Demonstrated ability to research and document technical accounting positions;
• Sound judgment and ability to make timely decisions to keep close deadlines on track;
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying and escalating risk.

Requirements

• CPA (or equivalent professional accounting qualification), a plus rather than a requirement;
• Experience supporting external financial reporting or statutory filings;
• Direct experience with Iplicit or similar multi-entity accounting systems;
• Experience working in a fast growing business;
• Exposure to process automation or systems implementation projects.
