Senior Finance Consultant

Employment Type: Contract (6-8 months)

Location: Remote

Rate: $80-90/hr

Industry: Property Management

Position Type: New Role

About the Opportunity

Our client is a private equity-backed property management organization preparing for its next annual audit under US GAAP. The company is moving from its current reporting framework to US GAAP, and the audit is due at the end of June.

This Senior Finance Consultant role exists to lead that conversion and get the finance function audit-ready. You’ll work directly with the senior finance leader and report into an engaged leadership team that is aligned on scope, timeline, and expectations. The engagement runs from November through May or June, with a ramp-up through December.

Beyond the conversion itself, you’ll leave behind a documented, repeatable monthly US GAAP close process the internal team can run without you. For a seasoned finance leader who prefers project-based work with a clear start, a hard deadline, and visible impact, this is a well-defined mandate with real ownership.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the conversion of the company’s financial reporting to US GAAP
- Perform GAAP gap assessments and identify the accounting policy changes required
- Prepare opening balance sheet adjustments, restated comparatives, and supporting reconciliations
- Draft and document accounting policies and technical position papers
- Prepare financial statements and disclosures in US GAAP format
- Build and document a scalable monthly US GAAP close and reporting process
- Prepare audit-ready schedules and working papers, and coordinate with external auditors through fieldwork




- Partner with the senior finance leader and the existing team to transition ownership of new processes
- Report progress, risks, and timeline to leadership on a regular cadence

What You Bring

- CPA designation
- Controller-level or above experience, ideally at Director or VP level
- Hands-on experience leading a US GAAP conversion or first-time US GAAP reporting
- Solid technical accounting skills with deep knowledge of US GAAP
- Recent experience preparing for and supporting external audits
- Track record of designing and documenting repeatable monthly close and reporting processes
- Comfortable working independently on a project basis with senior stakeholders and a fixed deadline
