The Operations Accounting team is looking for an experienced Accountant to join the team in supporting facilities accounting within the Operations Accounting team. In this role, you will need to be a self-starter who is skillful in communicating with cross-functional partners who have different backgrounds, levels, and experiences. A successful candidate will be able to manage complex workflows that involve multiple stakeholders and build strong relationships across teams. The individual will report to the Manager, Operations Accounting, and will be based out of either our Los Angeles, CA, or Los Gatos, CA office.

In this role, you will:
• Own the accounting for Open Connect, Consumer Experiences, and Gaming leases, including meeting with business partners, applying appropriate accounting, and processing all leases in our lease accounting system.
• Lead the corporate enterprise operations (including facilities and aviation) operating expense accounting by meeting with stakeholders, providing accounting guidance, and implementing accounting policies.
• Work with Financial Applications and lease software customer support to manage system integrations, test new features, and drive improvements.
• Support monthly-end close activities including closing of the fixed asset subledger, preparation of journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analyses.
• Prepare quarterly reporting deliverables (commitments, disclosures, rollforwards etc) related to fixed assets, leases, and facilities operating expenses.
• Partner with teams within the organization, cross-functionally and externally including FP&A, Procurement, A/P, Lease Management, Open Connect, and Design and Construction.
• Assist with consolidated and statutory audit inquiries and support local reporting needs.

Qualities we're looking for:
• Fundamentals of accounting - We'd like you to have 4+ years of relevant accounting experience under your belt backed by a bachelor's degree in accounting and/or finance; CPA/CA license is preferred.
• Curiosity and passion - Our team members ask probing questions, challenge the status quo, enjoy tackling complex unique business cases and transactions, and have fun while doing it all! Prior work with contract review, data entry and analysis, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful.
• Innovation mindset - Enthusiasm for designing and building new accounting systems and making innovations to existing systems and processes. A positive attitude and never settling for ''good enough'' are key, along with fitting into our unique company culture.
• Adaptable - You have to be comfortable in an ever-changing ecosystem of finance and accounting issues and projects.
• Attention to detail and love for data - We pride ourselves on producing high-quality work, scrutinizing important numbers and formulas for accuracy, and using spreadsheets and system data to reconcile accounts and solve problems. Our accountants love Excel pivot tables and are unphased by large data sets.

Bonus experience - not required but are a plus!
• ASC 842 lease accounting experience is a plus, but not essential if you are enthusiastic about the position, have a strong accounting background, and are capable of learning quickly.
• Experience with Workday Financials.
