Accounting Manager - Corporate Overhead & Close at DWYER INSTRUMENTS, LLC

United States

$125k - $150k

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. Requirements QUALIFICATIONS CPA required, or actively pursuing. 5–8 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably in a multi-entity or corporate environment. Strong technical accounting knowledge — intercompany, consolidation, debt accounting, and expense management. Experience with ERP systems. Experience supporting or operating in a public company environment is beneficial. Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple close deadlines simultaneously.
