About the role
Affirm is looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to support and manage our international accounting operations, with a focus on statutory accounting, statutory audits, financial statement preparation, local compliance requirements, transfer pricing, and monthly close activities.

You will coordinate closely with internal Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Legal, Payroll, People, Finance, Technical Accounting and Financial Reporting teams, as well as external auditors, accounting firms, tax advisors, and statutory service providers.

You will bring strong US GAAP and local statutory accounting awareness, excellent project management skills, and the ability to manage multiple workstreams across jurisdictions. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly organized, proactive, and comfortable driving work through cross-functional partners and external providers.

You will be expected to deliver reliable, high-quality results, communicate clearly, and improve processes that make statutory accounting, audit support, and transfer pricing activities more scalable over time.

What you’ll do

• Manage statutory accounting and monthly close activities for international entities, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, variance analysis, and close checklist completion.

• Coordinate with external accounting, payroll, tax, statutory, and audit providers to ensure accurate local books, timely deliverables, and compliance with local requirements.

• Lead statutory audit planning and execution, including auditor onboarding, timelines, status tracking, request management, issue resolution, and stakeholder coordination.

• Review trial balances, general ledger activity, reconciliations, and financial statement variances to identify risks, unusual items, required adjustments, and recurring issues.

• Strengthen process improvements and controls across statutory accounting and audit workflows by standardizing templates, improving review checklists, clarifying ownership, documenting key judgments, enhancing audit trails, and building repeatable processes that reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and support audit readiness.

• Identify control gaps, process inefficiencies, and documentation weaknesses; partner with stakeholders to implement scalable solutions, improve close governance, and ensure processes remain effective as entities, requirements, and reporting complexity evolve.

• Use systems and tools such as NetSuite, Blackline, Excel, Workday, and AI-enabled workflows to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
