About this role
This Senior Accountant role at Samsung Research America's Mountain View office is built around month-end close operations, financial reporting, and treasury management. You would own the monthly closing cycle—posting journal entries, reconciling the general ledger, and preparing financial statements for headquarters—while also managing lease accounting, prepaid accounts, and cash management. The position requires partnering across internal teams and external auditors, organizing internal controls and compliance processes, and handling intercompany transactions. It's a role that demands both precision and adaptability as business needs shift.
The position requires six or more years of accounting experience with demonstrated expertise in treasury, GL accounting, and audit support. You'll need fluency in both English and Korean, advanced Excel skills (including macros and pivot tables), and familiarity with SAP or similar financial systems. A CPA or CFA is valued but not required. The role emphasizes working independently while contributing ideas for process improvement, managing competing priorities under deadline pressure, and maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
This is a full-time, in-office position in Mountain View with a base salary range of $120,500 to $165,700, plus annual bonus eligibility and benefits.
