Keys to Success
Equity Compensation Accounting + Equity Financial Reporting + Technical Reconciliation & Migration + SQL / Advanced Data Analysis
This role is best suited for professionals with deep, hands-on equity compensation accounting and financial reporting expertise who combine ASC 718 knowledge with technical reconciliation, migration, and data analysis capabilities to investigate reporting discrepancies, identify root causes, and drive resolution.
Equity Financial Reporting (Strong → Expert): Direct ownership of stock compensation expense, DTA, diluted EPS, share balances, and disclosures, including preparation, analysis, reconciliation, testing, and validation through close and reporting cycles.
Equity Compensation Accounting (Strong): Hands-on ASC 718 accounting, award transactions, valuations, expense calculations, and disclosures; understanding of RSUs, PSUs, options, and ESPPs.
Reconciliation & Root-Cause Analysis (Strong → Expert): Investigate and resolve material and immaterial reporting differences across systems, source data, mappings, calculations, and reporting outputs.
Migrations & Transformation (Strong): Hands-on implementations, conversions, data validation, testing, issue resolution, and stabilization.
Data & Technical Troubleshooting (Strong): Trace data, formulas, queries, and system behavior to identify reporting issues; SQL interpretation and comparable advanced data-analysis capabilities are highly preferred, but writing SQL code is not required.
Product, Engineering & Requirements (Strong): Translate equity accounting into reporting requirements and collaborate with technical teams on testing, defects, and solutions.
Relationship / Project Management (Strong): Independently manage client workstreams, competing priorities, escalations, and cross-functional resolution.
Judgment & Ownership (Strong): Determine whether discrepancies originate in source data, data loading, system logic, report configuration, or accounting interpretation; independently drive investigation and resolution.
Education, Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing (Strong): Explain complex accounting and technical issues, document findings, and share knowledge to support consistent client delivery.
This is not a traditional Financial Reporting-only position, a pure data analyst role, or a conventional product management role. It is a hybrid position requiring meaningful depth across equity Financial Reporting, technical investigation, reconciliation, and collaborative problem-solving.
