About the Role

We're looking for an Accounting Specialist to play a key role in our Controllership team, owning the monthly financial close end-to-end for multiple entities, contributing to the accuracy, reliability, and continuous improvement of Wildlife's financial reporting.

As our operations continue to evolve, having strong and scalable accounting and reporting processes is critical. In this role, you will coordinate the monthly close process end-to-end: ensuring timelines are met, stakeholders are aligned, and risks are flagged early. You will play a key role in ensuring that accounting information accurately reflects the business and supports decision-making at a group level.

You will work closely with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and other Finance and Operations teams to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions, while also understanding how local entries impact group consolidation. This role requires a strong sense of ownership, sound judgment to navigate trade-offs between accuracy, timelines, and business needs, and the ability to bring different stakeholders to alignment when priorities compete.

You will also contribute to improving, automating and scaling our accounting processes, reducing closing timelines, enhancing controls, and building a more efficient and reliable reporting environment, while sharing context and reasoning with the team along the way.

What You'll Do

• Own and coordinate the monthly financial close for multiple entities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and quality. Anticipate blockers, raise risks early, and balance competing timelines and shifting inputs without overcomplicating the process.
• Oversee the preparation and review of balance sheet reconciliations, investigating variances and unusual transactions, and connecting findings to business impact. Support the Accounting & Reporting manager in preparing status reports for CFO review. 
• Assist in drafting and maintaining accounting policies, technical memos, and procedures (US GAAP/ IFRS), documenting decisions in a way that others (including non-technical partners) can act on.
• Partner with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and Business teams to ensure proper accounting treatment of complex transactions. Listen to different perspectives, bring discussions back to shared goals, and help reach alignment when priorities or interpretations diverge.
• Identify and quickly implement process improvements and automation opportunities in the closing cycle, drawing on market best practices and emerging tools to scale our reporting environment.
• Analyze financial data using key metrics and dashboards to evaluate results, validate hypotheses, and connect accounting outcomes to business impact.
• Understand and analyze the impact of local accounting entries on group consolidation, including intercompany transactions, eliminations, FX effects, and CTA.
• Communicate proactively: share progress, surface blockers early instead of going quiet, and adjust tone and vocabulary to the audience (technical peers, FP&A, leadership, auditors).

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting;
• Solid experience in Accounting and Financial Reporting;
