Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Manager

As Technical Accounting and Financial Reporting Manager at Talos, you own financial reporting and audits across a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group. Reporting to the Global Controller, you are the bridge between the business and financial statements, turning new products and revenue streams from SaaS subscriptions to digital asset trading and prediction markets into sound accounting positions and scalable processes. This is a hands-on role where you think from first principles where no playbook exists and still deliver audit-ready financial statements to deadline.

What you'll do

• Own preparation of consolidated and statutory financial statements, footnotes, and disclosures under US GAAP, including multi-currency consolidation and FX translation.
• Lead the group external audit and around five international statutory audits (including Ireland and Singapore), managing timelines, requests, and resolution of open items.
• Research and document technical positions on complex and non-routine transactions, and present them to auditors, up to national office level.
• Partner with Sales, Legal, RevOps, and FP&A to define the accounting, billing, and reporting treatment for new products and revenue streams.
• Support technical workstreams including revenue recognition (ASC 606), digital assets (ASC 350-60), leases (ASC 842), share-based compensation (ASC 718), and M&A (ASC 805/810).
• Work closely with Operational Accounting to ensure the close produces accurate, reconciled inputs for reporting.
• Drive improvements to the reporting process, including disclosure automation, reporting tools such as Workiva, and AI-enabled workflows.
• Maintain accounting policies and contribute to ICFR documentation as the business scales.
• Support regulatory reporting for regulated entities, including broker-dealer reporting and CIMA VASP returns.

What you bring

• 7+ years of accounting experience, including Big 4 or comparable audit experience at Senior or Manager level and 2+ years in industry.
• Strong US GAAP knowledge, with hands-on experience applying ASC 606 and other complex standards.
• A proven track record of preparing consolidated financial statements and disclosures, not only reviewing them.
• Experience leading external audits, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.
• Strong technical writing skills, including memos and position papers that stand up to auditor scrutiny.
• Experience in SaaS or technology.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to reason from first principles where guidance is limited.
• Clear communication with non-finance stakeholders.
• Strong Excel skills.
• CPA or ACA/ACCA preferred.

Nice to have

• Exposure to financial services, trading, or digital assets.
• Experience with Sage Intacct, Workiva, FloQast, or AI tools.
