Accounting Manager

Own the close for a global travel business, and build the team and the systems that make it run better every quarter. At arrivia , we're passionate about making travel experiences unforgettable. As a global leader in the travel industry, we're looking to hire a talented Accounting Manager to join our accounting team in Scottsdale.

This is a hybrid position, onsite in our office four days per week.

About the Role

As Accounting Manager, you will own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, oversee our most complex accounting areas, and ensure the accuracy and integrity of our financial reporting. You will report to the Director of Accounting and lead a team of senior and staff accountants. This role sits at the center of a genuinely complex environment.

Multi-entity structures, intercompany activity, revenue share, capex, and ASC 842 lease accounting are the everyday work, not the exception. Alongside the close, you will develop early-career accountants into strong professionals and lead the automation and system work that makes the function scale. What You'll Own The Close: Manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual close so reporting is timely and accurate.

This is the primary measure of success. Complex Accounting Areas: Oversee lease accounting under ASC 842, capex, accruals, revenue share, and operational expenditures. Review and Approval: Review and approve journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules. GAAP Compliance: Ensure adherence to U.S. GAAP and company accounting policies.

Intercompany Accounting: Coordinate intercompany accounting and reconciliation across entities. Team Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accountants. Coaching early-career talent is a core part of this job, not a side duty. Technical Guidance: Advise on complex transactions and emerging business initiatives.

Policy and Documentation: Develop and document accounting policies, procedures, and best practices. System Implementations: Participate in system implementations and upgrades that strengthen financial reporting and internal controls. Automation and Scalability: Lead special projects and automation initiatives that improve the efficiency and scalability of the accounting function.

Audit Support: Support financial statement preparation and the annual audit.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Accounting required. 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including people management. Strong command of U.S. GAAP, reconciliations, and manager-level review of journal entries and schedules. Experience in a multi-entity or complex operating environment with intercompany activity. A track record of owning a full monthly, quarterly, and annual close.

Experience coaching and developing accounting staff. ASC 842 lease accounting experience strongly preferred. Experience with process improvement, automation, or system implementations. CPA preferred. Exposure to revenue share, capex, or intercompany accounting is a significant advantage. Strong written and verbal communication, sound judgment, and the ability to manage competing deadlines with limited oversight.

Ability to work onsite in our Scottsdale office four days per week.
