Senior Level Financial Manager Jobs

Overview

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Close, Consolidation & Financial Process Modernization to lead two critical areas within Intuit’s Global Controllership organization: the execution and continuous improvement of our global financial close and consolidation processes, and the modernization of the processes, platforms, data, and ways of working that underpin controllership.

Reporting directly to the VP, Corporate Controller, you will lead a team responsible for delivering an accurate, timely, and well-controlled close and consolidation process. You will establish clear operating standards and performance expectations, proactively manage risks and dependencies, drive issues to resolution, and continuously improve the quality, predictability, and efficiency of the close.

You will also own the controllership modernization portfolio and multi-year roadmap, identifying and prioritizing the highest-impact opportunities to simplify, streamline, and automate how close, consolidation, reporting, and controls operate. You will partner across Accounting, Finance, Technology, Data, SOX, and other functions to translate accounting and operational requirements into scalable process, platform, and data solutions that deliver measurable improvements while maintaining financial integrity and an effective control environment.

This role requires a leader who combines deep controllership expertise with strong people leadership, systems and data fluency, and an AI-first, continuous-improvement mindset. You should be equally comfortable leading a quarter-end close, developing and coaching a team, challenging an existing accounting process, leveraging data and AI to identify and scale better ways of working, and partnering with technology teams to design and implement future-state solutions.

Responsibilities

• 
  Lead the global close and consolidation process, establishing clear timelines, ownership, governance, and escalation protocols to deliver accurate, timely, and well-controlled financial results. Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and issues and drive them to resolution while continuously improving close quality, predictability, and cycle time.

• Own the controllership modernization portfolio and multi-year roadmap, focusing the organization on the highest-impact opportunities to simplify, streamline, and automate close, consolidation, reporting, and controls. Establish clear priorities, owners, milestones, resource trade-offs, and success measures to reduce cycle time, effort, and risk while strengthening financial integrity and compliance.

• Lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing team, setting clear expectations and priorities, providing coaching and feedback, building deep controllership and transformation capabilities, and creating an environment of accountability, collaboration, continuous learning, and strong execution.

• Own and continuously enhance the controllership data and reporting foundation, including dashboards, SLA and cycle-time models, benchmarking, and performance metrics. Provide leadership with accurate, timely, and self-service insights that drive accountability, while ensuring the underlying data is audit-ready, scalable, and aligned with finance and enterprise data governance and the control environment over financial reporting.

• Translate accounting and operational requirements into actionable process, system, and data designs, assess modernization initiatives and process or system changes for controllership impacts, and drive modern, well-controlled solutions through experimentation, continuous learning, and the scaling of approaches that improve upon legacy ways of working.

• Apply an AI-first lens and emerging technologies to redesign, pilot, and scale controllership workflows, including close and reconciliation activities, document and contract analysis, process and control documentation, and narrative drafting, to reduce manual effort, accelerate analysis, and deliver measurable efficiency with appropriate rigor, human oversight, and audit defensibility.

• Build trusted cross-functional relationships and influence senior stakeholders with clear, data-backed recommendations and trade-offs to align priorities, resolve complex accounting and operational issues, enable timely decision-making, and drive the adoption, sustainability, and continuous improvement of modernized processes and platforms.

• Partner with the VP Controller and controllership leadership team to drive operational excellence, providing clear visibility into close performance, modernization progress, key risks, dependencies, and decisions, and synthesizing complex accounting and operational matters into clear, decision-ready narratives for senior leadership and governance forums.

Qualifications

• 
  10-12+ years of relevant experience in accounting and controllership, including significant hands-on experience leading financial close and consolidation processes within a complex, public company environment.

• Demonstrated people leadership experience, including building and developing high-performing teams, setting priorities, coaching talent, managing performance, and driving accountability for complex, deadline-driven work.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. CPA strongly preferred. MBA, CMA, or relevant technology or data credentials are a plus.

• Deep knowledge of US GAAP, financial close and consolidation, SEC reporting requirements, and the control environment over financial reporting, including SOX requirements. Public company, fintech, or software industry experience is strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-functional modernization initiatives from problem definition and solution design through implementation, adoption, and continuous improvement.

• Strong systems, data, and process fluency, with the ability to partner directly with Finance Systems, Technology, Data, and Engineering teams as a credible functional leader.

• Ability to translate accounting requirements into effective process, system, and data designs, including close mechanics, consolidation, subledger-to-general-ledger flows, financial reporting, reconciliations, and controls.

• Proven ability to use operating metrics, SLAs, benchmarking, and performance measures to identify opportunities, drive accountability, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of accounting operations.

• Executive-level communication and presence, with the ability to synthesize complex accounting, operational, and technical matters into clear recommendations and decision-ready narratives.

• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, navigate ambiguity, challenge legacy approaches, make thoughtful prioritization and resource trade-offs, and drive outcomes across organizational boundaries.

• Experience applying AI tools, automation, and emerging technologies to accounting or controllership processes, with sound judgment regarding accuracy, human oversight, governance, and audit defensibility.

• Demonstrated ability to balance operational execution and transformation, maintaining accuracy, controls, and financial integrity while driving meaningful improvements in speed, scalability, and ways of working.
