I am partnering once again to help my multi billion dollar publicly traded organization find a SEC Reporting Manager. This position is open due to an internal promotion, which is typical for this accounting team. This is not a role that you’ll get stuck in. We have placed 6 people here, so we know them well. This organization is highly diversified in the manufacturing/CPG space. This is a highly visible role in collaboration with executive business partners. The hiring manager is genuinely nice, fun, and loves to mentor. Preferred candidates are currently at the Manager level in public accounting or an industry Reporting Manager.
