Accounting Specialist

Requisitos

• We're looking for an Accounting Specialist to play a key role in our Controllership team, owning the monthly financial close for multiple entities and contributing to the accuracy, reliability, and continuous improvement of Wildlife's financial reporting
• As our operations continue to evolve, strong and scalable accounting and reporting processes are critical
• In this role, you will coordinate the monthly close end-to-end: keeping timelines on track, stakeholders aligned, and risks flagged early
• You will be responsible for ensuring that accounting information accurately reflects the business and supports decision-making at the group level
• You will work closely with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and other Finance and Operations teams to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions, while understanding how local entries impact group consolidation
• This role requires a strong sense of ownership, sound judgment to navigate trade-offs between accuracy, timelines, and business needs, and the ability to align stakeholders when priorities compete
• You will also help improve, automate, and scale our accounting processes: shortening closing timelines, strengthening controls, and building a more efficient and reliable reporting environment, while sharing context and reasoning with the team along the way. ## **What You'll Do** - Own and coordinate the monthly financial close for multiple entities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and quality
• Anticipate blockers, raise risks early, and balance competing timelines and shifting inputs without overcomplicating the process. - Oversee the preparation and review of balance sheet reconciliations, investigating variances and unusual transactions, and connecting findings to business impact
• Support the Accounting & Reporting manager in preparing status reports for CFO review. - Assist in drafting and maintaining accounting policies, technical memos, and procedures (US GAAP/ IFRS), documenting decisions in a way that others (including non-technical partners) can act on. - Partner with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and Business teams to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions
• Listen to different perspectives, bring discussions back to shared goals, and help reach alignment when priorities or interpretations diverge. - Identify and quickly implement process improvements and automation opportunities in the closing cycle, drawing on market best practices and emerging tools to scale our reporting environment. - Analyze financial data using key metrics and dashboards to evaluate results, validate hypotheses, and connect accounting outcomes to business impact. - Understand and analyze the impact of local accounting entries on group consolidation, including intercompany transactions, eliminations, FX effects, and CTA. - Communicate proactively: share progress, surface blockers early instead of going quiet, and adjust tone and vocabulary to the audience (technical peers, FP&A, leadership, auditors). ## **What You Need** - Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• - Solid experience in Accounting and Financial Reporting
• - Strong knowledge of US GAAP and IFRS
• - Proven experience owning timely monthly close processes end-to-end across multiple entities
• - Solid understanding of consolidation concepts, including intercompany eliminations, FX/CTA, and multi-entity structures
• - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex problems and use data to support decisions
• - Demonstrated ability to engage and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and drive alignment under tight deadlines. ## **Nice to Have** - Experience with multi-entity/ international structures with different functional currencies
• - Exposure to process automation or data tools - MBA or specialization in Accounting/Finance
• - Fluent English. ## **More About You** - Strong sense of ownership and accountability: you own outcomes, not just tasks, and follow up on blockers until they are resolved. - Detail-oriented with ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. - Clear and structured communication: you can present options and trade-offs to non-technical partners, document decisions so others can act on them, and adapt your message to different audiences. - Sound judgment under competing priorities: you can navigate trade-offs between accuracy, timelines, and business needs, and know when to escalate. - Collaborative and calm under pressure: you stay constructive when scope changes, help teammates when they fall behind, and bring stability rather than intensifying issues. - Candid and transparent: when errors occur, you are forthcoming and help address issues quickly rather than trying to save face. - Continuous improvement mindset: you actively look for ways to reduce closing timelines, strengthen controls, and adopt better tools and practices from the market. - Curious by nature: you continuously experiment with emerging AI tools to work faster and deliver better outcomes. - Cross-functional mindset: comfortable working across Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and Business teams in a fast-paced environment. **** **About Wildlife** Wildlife is one of the leading mobile game developers and publishers in the world
