About this role

About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

Anthropic's corporate structure is growing in both entity count and transaction complexity; through acquisitions, international expansion, and an increasingly intricate set of intercompany flows. Consolidations and intercompany is now a dedicated pillar within Corporate Accounting, and we are looking for a Senior Accountant to be its first hands-on builder, reporting to the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany.

This is a preparer's role with a designer's mandate. You will run the multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and intercompany close in our system of record, and you will own the frameworks that make that close repeatable: elimination logic, cost-allocation models, transaction-flow documentation, and the automation that lets all of it scale as entities and acquisitions are added. The people who do well here can take a complex, ambiguous structure, distill it into something clear, and then build it so it runs the same way every month without them.

Success in this role is a balance of strategy and operations; someone who closes the books accurately and on time, and who also leaves each close with fewer manual steps than the one before.

Key responsibilities

• Prepare and own the monthly and quarterly consolidation close in Workday, including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency translation, and consolidated reconciliations

• Own the intercompany sub-ledger end to end: transaction matching, settlement, balance confirmations, and resolution of out-of-balance positions across entities

• Design and maintain the cost-allocation model for shared costs, including pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of flows, and build it to be automatable and defensible

• Document intercompany transaction flows and maintain the single source of truth for entity structure, agreements, and elimination logic

• Partner with the Head of Consolidations & Intercompany to design the target operating model for the pillar, then build and codify it through operating procedures and controls

• Operationalize transfer-pricing arrangements with Tax and support FX and intercompany settlement processes with Treasury

• Integrate newly acquired entities into the consolidation and intercompany framework, working alongside M&A Finance Integration

• Identify and build automation across the consolidation and intercompany close — in Workday, in reporting tools, and with AI-assisted tooling such as Claude — with a bias toward removing manual work for good

• Prepare consolidation and intercompany audit support and serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors on this area, both local and consolidated

• Support technical accounting analysis on consolidation matters, including foreign currency and intercompany arrangements

Minimum qualifications

• Hands-on experience preparing a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation close in an ERP, including intercompany eliminations and currency translation

• Working knowledge of US GAAP for consolidations, intercompany transactions, and foreign currency including capital funding, loan arrangements and asset transfers.

• Experience building or materially redesigning an accounting process, model, or reconciliation — not only operating one that already existed

• Advanced spreadsheet and data-handling skills, with the ability to work confidently in large, multi-entity datasets

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Preferred qualifications

• CPA, ACA, or equivalent professional accounting qualification

• Workday Financials or Workday Financial Consolidation experience, or experience implementing or configuring a consolidation module on another major ERP

• Experience operationalizing and automating transfer pricing or intercompany service agreements from the accounting side

• Exposure to FX accounting and intercompany settlement processes in partnership with Treasury

• Experience integrating acquired entities into a group close

• Experience automating close processes through scripting, reporting tools, or AI-assisted tooling

• Combination of public accounting background and high-growth or multi-entity operating experience

• Comfortable operating lean, resolving ambiguity into documented process, and explaining complex structures simply to finance and non-finance partners
