troveo - Senior Accounting Manager
Requirements
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial hands-on ownership of the monthly close. We will consider candidates with fewer years who have operated independently in a high-growth startup. • Experience in a startup or similarly resource-constrained setting where you built practical processes and controls while keeping the books accurate. • Direct experience with contract-driven financial operations such as royalties, revenue share, licensing, marketplace payouts, commissions, or complex partner payments. • Strong US GAAP and revenue-recognition knowledge, including deferred revenue, accruals, prepaid schedules, and documented reconciliations. • Hands-on QuickBooks experience and familiarity with modern finance tools; strong Excel skills and the ability to build a reconciliation someone else can follow. • Sound judgment, accuracy, and clear communication with senior leaders, customers, licensors, partners, and non-finance colleagues. • A bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. • Experience with one or more of international withholding, 1042/1042-S filing, multi-state sales tax, or cross-border contractor payments. • Experience with Tipalti, Ramp, Bill, Deel, TriNet, or similar payment and people administration tools. • Media, entertainment, marketplace, data licensing, or AI industry experience; CPA or comparable certification. • Experience automating accounting workflows or supporting a company through rapid revenue growth. • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE • First 30 days: Learn the close calendar and licensor payout process, run one close alongside the CFO, and understand the history, dependencies, and risks in existing reconciliations. • First 90 days: Own an on-time close independently. Complete licensor payouts accurately and on schedule, with documented review controls and prompt resolution of exceptions. Keep receivables aging current and document at least two existing processes. • First 6 months: Shorten the close cycle, standardize payout review so it scales with deal volume, and keep tax and withholding work on a documented calendar. Give leadership reliable numbers for decisions.
