Manager, Accounting

Overview

Manager, Accounting

Are you a forward thinking analytical genius who thrives on being a key contributor in a high energy financial services organization? Do you want to work in a business-casual, collaborative environment where your contributions are recognized, successes are elevated and effort is rewarded? Our accountants are masters of accounting principles with a flawless understanding of the full end to end accounting process. 

As an Accounting Manager on the Credit Accounting team, you will operate as a key player within the Business Intent Agile Team, with the end goal of translating complex accounting needs into clear technical requirements and ensuring that business intent meets financial governance standards. This is a highly visible role where you will not be confined to a single team. Instead, you will "float" horizontally to support critical initiatives in Rewards Accounting, leading cross-functional efforts to analyze risks, define requirements, and oversee user acceptance testing from a financial controller’s perspective. As the demand for skilled accountants is at an all time high – Capital One can provide an environment where you can excel in your career while still maintaining a work life balance that others will desire.

In this role you will:

• Serve as the primary SME for Credit Accounting within the business intent organization, ensuring that all Rewards-dependent builds adhere to financial reporting standards and controller policies.

• Partner with Business Intent, Technology and Product teams across various sprint cycles. You will act as the "Voice of the Controller" within the pods to ensure accounting dependencies are identified early.

• Translate accounting policies into actionable Business Epics and User Stories. Ensure that acceptance criteria include necessary financial controls and data lineage requirements.

• Drive the completion of accounting-specific deliverables within the broader tech roadmap. Manage project plans, track metrics, and maintain decision logs to ensure on-time delivery.

• Oversee User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for finance use cases. Validate that the technology build accurately reflects the business intent and flows correctly to the General Ledger before production release.

• Lead interactions between the BI, Product & Tech teams and the Credit Accounting Team. Communicate progress, blockages, and risks to the leadership team, ensuring alignment between product innovation and financial control.

• Analyze current operational processes and recommend automated solutions that reduce manual accounting work and minimize operational risk.

Basic Qualifications:

• At least 7 Years of accounting, or finance, or audit experience, or a combination

• Bachelors Degree or Military Experience

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree in Accounting, or Finance, or Business

• 3+ years of banking or finance industry experience

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license

• 2+ years of experience in Tableau, or Python, or SQL, or a combination

• 3+ years of experience with Google Workspace

• 3+ years of experience working within Agile environments.
