Senior Manager, Finance Transformation

Description

Trading Technologies is a global capital markets technology company operating across the U.S., EMEA and APAC. We are looking for a Senior Manager, Finance Transformation to lead meaningful and high-impact initiatives in our finance organization: driving how we work and how we grow.

This is not a traditional accounting management role. You will spend the majority of your time on forward-looking initiatives - redesigning close processes, implementing automation and tooling, and serving as the accounting lead on M&A and integrations.

We are looking for someone with a sharp eye for identifying problems, the initiative to propose solutions, and the drive to see them through in a fast-moving environment. If you are energized by building and transforming, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Transformation & Process Improvement

Own the finance transformation roadmap - identifying inefficiencies across the accounting function and leading end-to-end implementation of scalable improvements.

Lead the evaluation, selection, and rollout of close management and automation tools (e.g., FloQast, Power Automate, Power BI), including stakeholder alignment, change management, and training.

Redesign the month-end close process in partnership with the Accounting leaders, with a focus on reducing cycle time, eliminating manual touchpoints, and improving data quality.

Partner with finance systems teams on ERP enhancements, workflow integrations, and data infrastructure improvements (NetSuite and Coupa tools).

Establish and maintain SOPs for all key accounting processes, ensuring institutional knowledge is documented, scalable, and audit-ready.

Define and track KPIs for close efficiency and team productivity; present progress and recommendations to the Controller and senior leadership.

M&A Accounting & Integration

Serve as the finance lead on M&A transactions from pre-close through full integration - including due diligence support, purchase price allocation, opening balance sheet review, and post-acquisition accounting.

Coordinate with legal, FP&A, tax, and external advisors to ensure timely and accurate accounting treatment of acquisition-related items including goodwill, intangibles, and deferred revenue adjustments.

Lead the harmonization of accounting policies, charts of accounts, and systems across acquired entities.

Build and maintain a repeatable M&A integration playbook, incorporating lessons learned from each transaction to accelerate future integrations.

Monitor post-acquisition financial performance and flag accounting or reporting issues early to the Controller.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Essential Skills & Experience

CPA required.

7–10 years of progressive accounting experience, with demonstrated leadership on process improvement, systems implementation, or M&A integration initiatives.
