FAAS-TAAG-Staff 2

The opportunity

Our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) team is growing, and as an Experienced Staff in our Technical Accounting Advisory Group (TAAG), you will play a key role in that growth. Working across all industries, you’ll develop your career by communicating creative, strategic goals both internally and externally. It’s about listening to and understanding our clients to deliver an exceptional experience in a field with no off-the-shelf recommendations.

As part of our Technical Accounting Advisory Group, you will help companies manage complex financial and accounting issues related to consolidation and joint ventures, IPOs, business combinations, compensation, revenue recognition, derivatives and hedging, debt vs. equity, SEC reporting, leases, and more. This is a highly visible role allowing you to work with a broad set of clients across the US firm, interacting directly with FAAS and audit teams and clients. It’s a unique opportunity to learn technical accounting at a faster rate and deeper level.

Your key responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects are the same. You’ll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop solutions to complex issues. You’ll collaborate with colleagues across multiple service lines, building relationships and identifying opportunities for clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Occasional travel may be necessary to meet with key clients, some of whom are highly regarded in their fields.

• Strong technical writing and presentation skills
• Strong project management and time management skills
• A thorough understanding of US GAAP

• Confidence to research and resolve emerging client issues, including regulations, industry practices and new technologies
