Job Description
Role overview. Grafana Labs, which builds the Grafana Cloud observability platform, is recruiting a full-time Technical Accounting and Financial Reporting Manager. The role is remote and based in the United States, inside the Finance team. The manager reports to the Senior Manager of Technical Accounting and Financial Reporting and focuses on GAAP reporting for the U.S. and SEC filings.
Who it suits. The ideal hire has technical accounting advisory work behind them, typically at a Big 4 firm, plus a CPA or an equivalent credential. They should be at ease with high-judgment accounting questions, lead their own workstreams, and keep several priorities moving. Hands-on experience with reporting controls and with outside audits is expected.
Day-to-day scope. The manager reviews or drafts financial statements, work papers and disclosure checklists, and handles much of the contact with external auditors. Busy stretches come at the close of each month, quarter and year, when judgment-heavy items such as commissions need review. Other duties include technical research on non-recurring transactions, drafting accounting memos, assessing new standards and keeping accounting policies current.
