Accounting Manager - Corporate Overhead & Close

Description:

ABOUT THE ROLE

DwyerOmega is building the accounting infrastructure of a public company while operating a growing multi-entity finance function. This role owns the corporate overhead and HoldCo close — today managed through topside entries in OneStream and within Dwyer systems, with no dedicated owner or ERP entity. With the Q4 2026 ERP go-live for corporate overhead, this role designs and runs the accounting structure inside the new entity, replacing the topsides with a controlled, audit-ready process.

This is a high-impact, hands-on management role for someone who wants to build. You will own a defined, time-bound portfolio of work — intercompany eliminations, debt accounting, shared expense allocations, and payroll settlement — that the current team cannot absorb without risk to close quality and timeliness, during the same period the team is standing up its controls and IPO-readiness infrastructure.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Month-End Close — Corporate Overhead Entity

• Own the full monthly close for the corporate overhead and HoldCo entity or entity structures within a controlled ERP environment.
• Prepare and post all journal entries related to corporate overhead — payroll and expense settlement accounting, M&A transactions that flow through corporate overhead, and other shared expenses.
• Ensure all overhead entries are properly allocated or charged to the appropriate operating entities.
• Maintain the close checklist and supporting documentation for all corporate overhead accounts.

Intercompany Accounting — Trade, Debt, and Shared Expenses

• Own intercompany accounting across three streams: trade (product and service transactions between entities), debt (intercompany loans and interest), and shared expenses (allocated overhead and shared services).
• Maintain intercompany schedules and ensure balances are reconciled and agree across all entities each period.
• Prepare intercompany elimination entries for consolidation and ensure they are properly reflected in OneStream.
• Coordinate with entity controllers on intercompany billing, settlement timing, and dispute resolution.
• Manage the intercompany netting and settlement process in coordination with controllers.

Payroll and Expense Reimbursement Settlement

• Own accounting for payroll costs within the corporate overhead entity, including journal entries, accruals, and reconciliation to payroll system outputs.
• Manage the accounting and settlement of employee expense reimbursements processed through Workday once implemented.
• Reconcile payroll and expense settlement to bank activity.
• Coordinate with HR and payroll operations on timing, corrections, and period-end cutoff.

Debt Accounting

• Own the accounting for all corporate debt instruments — term loans, revolving credit facilities, and any other borrowings held in the corporate overhead entity.
• Prepare monthly debt amortization schedules including principal, interest accrual, and debt issuance cost amortization.
• Apply correct accounting treatment for debt modifications, extinguishments, and refinancing events under ASC 470.
• Maintain supporting schedules for all debt instruments and ensure they are audit-ready.

Consolidation Support

• Support the consolidation process in OneStream with a focus on the corporate overhead and HoldCo layer.
• Ensure all intercompany eliminations, overhead allocations, and HoldCo entries flow correctly into the consolidated financial statements.
• Assist with the preparation of consolidation workpapers and supporting schedules for audit.
• Identify and remediate any consolidation differences or unexplained variances in the corporate overhead layer.

Controls and Documentation

• Prepare and maintain account reconciliations for all corporate overhead accounts according to DwyerOmega policies.
• Follow standardized journal entry templates and approval workflows as designed.
• Maintain documentation standards required for SOX-readiness and audit evidence.
• Partner with the SOX & Controls Manager on control design for corporate overhead processes.
