Job Description

OVERVIEW

CoStar delivers real-time, verified commercial real estate data that helps clients confidently spot great opportunities and make smart choices ahead of competitors. By combining the power of CoStar's independent research organization - the industry's largest - with global data delivery, software, and application solutions, clients can act on opportunities with confidence.

At CoStar Group, our finance group centralizes transaction processes, providing accurate reporting, financial resolutions, and proper forecasting analysis. Joining the team offers access to financial specializations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash and asset management, client contracts and billing, and revenue recognition.

The Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting, will be responsible for managing the global consolidation of the Company's financial statements including helping maintain and enhance the Company's ERP, Oracle. This role holds a key leadership position in the controllership organization, is seen as a valuable resource to the broader finance organization, and requires an ability to be an independent problem solver and strong communicator.

Key responsibilities include helping manage the monthly close process, including being responsible for the monthly close calendar and deadlines, sending communications to the broader finance organization on the status of the close and financial statements, and gathering and evaluating close metrics necessary for identifying possible process gaps and opportunities for improvement. The Senior Manager will also review monthly journal entries and account reconciliations and will be required to have a strong understanding of all parts of the financial statements and transactions, including business combinations, foreign exchange, intercompany, and consolidations. This role will also include reporting responsibilities including preparing fluctuation analyses, management reporting, and financial statements and footnotes for the Company's quarterly and annual SEC filings.

The Senior Manager will also work closely with the financial systems team on Oracle upgrades and implementations of new functionality and maintaining and designing reports used for management and external reporting. This role will be responsible for overseeing general ledger maintenance including changes to the chart of accounts and legal entity structure and will be integral in helping execute various financial system projects as CoStar Group continues to scale for growth. The role will also be responsible for communicating with the broader finance organization to understand the needs of the business and ensure ERP updates are appropriately implemented.

The Senior Manager will also be involved in other ad hoc projects including the integration of acquired businesses, including the integration and mapping of GL systems and close processes.

The Senior Manager should be an effective leader and communicator, be organized, a problem solver, and possess a strong understanding of US GAAP. The Senior Manager should be highly adaptable to change due to Costar's rapid growth via organic growth and acquisitions. The Senior Manager must have a strong work ethic and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
