Description
Anthropic's corporate structure is growing in both entity count and transaction complexity; through acquisitions, international expansion, and an increasingly intricate set of intercompany flows. Consolidations and intercompany is now a dedicated pillar within Corporate Accounting, and we are looking for a Senior Accountant to be its first hands-on builder, reporting to the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany.
This is a preparer's role with a designer's mandate. You will run the multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and intercompany close in our system of record, and you will own the frameworks that make that close repeatable: elimination logic, cost-allocation models, transaction-flow documentation, and the automation that lets all of it scale as entities and acquisitions are added.
Key Responsibilities:
- Prepare and own the monthly and quarterly consolidation close in Workday, including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation, and consolidated reconciliations
- Own the intercompany sub-ledger end to end: transaction matching, settlement, balance confirmations, and resolution of out-of-balance positions across entities
- Design and maintain the cost-allocation model for shared costs, including pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of flows, and build it to be automatable and defensible
- Document intercompany transaction flows and maintain the single source of truth for entity structure, agreements, and elimination logic
- Partner with the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany to design the target operating model for the pillar, then build and codify it through operating procedures and controls
- Operationalize transfer-pricing arrangements with Tax and support FX and intercompany settlement processes with Treasury
- Integrate newly acquired entities into the consolidation and intercompany framework, working alongside M&A Finance Integration
- Identify and build automation across the consolidation and intercompany close , in Workday, in reporting tools, and with AI-assisted tooling such as Claude , with a bias toward removing manual work for good
- Prepare consolidation and intercompany audit support and serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors on this area
- Support technical accounting analysis on consolidation matters, including foreign currency and intercompany arrangements
Minimum Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience preparing a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation close in an ERP, including intercompany eliminations and currency translation
- Working knowledge of US GAAP for consolidations, intercompany transactions, and foreign currency
- Experience building or materially redesigning an accounting process, model, or reconciliation , not only operating one that already existed
- Advanced spreadsheet and data-handling skills, with the ability to work confidently in large, multi-entity datasets
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Preferred Qualifications:
- CPA, ACA, or equivalent professional accounting qualification
- Workday Financials or Workday Financial Consolidation experience, or experience implementing or configuring a consolidation module on another major ERP
- Experience operationalizing transfer pricing or intercompany service agreements from the accounting side
- Exposure to FX accounting and intercompany settlement processes in partnership with Treasury
- Experience integrating acquired entities into a group close
- Experience automating close processes through scripting, reporting tools, or AI-assisted tooling
- Combination of public accounting background and high-growth or multi-entity operating experience
- Comfortable operating lean, resolving ambiguity into documented process, and explaining complex structures simply to finance and non-finance partners
The annual compensation range for this role is $190,000-$230,000 USD.
