Position Description

Since 2012, RWC Americas’ revenues have tripled and now make up over 70% of the company’s worldwide consolidated revenues; it expects to more than double those revenues through continued organic and acquisition means in the coming years. With that, the Staff Accountant will maintain the region’s long-lived assets (i.e., fixed assets, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets), lease liabilities, support standard costs within the ERP, and work to improve the organization’s overall financial best practices and analytical capabilities to lead that growth rather than react to it.

The Staff Accountant will report to the Operations Accounting Manager and work closely with the Operations Controller. S/He will interface with members across many functional areas, primarily focused on supporting the dynamic needs of our Operations team throughout the United States. S/He will be responsible for various accounting areas supporting all long-lived assets and lease liabilities accounting activities, including performing monthly close processes, internal and external financial reporting, internal control compliance, and budgeting/forecasting/theoretical costing.

• Analyze data and procedures for opportunities to improve financial controls and reduce cost to the business.
• Participate in a wide variety of special projects and compile a variety of ad hoc reports that will be critical in the assessment of various business decisions and investments.
