Accounting areas covered by the Accounting CoE are revenue, accounts receivable, cash, inventory, accounts payable, long-lived assets and intercompany. This position will work closely with other CoE Managers, but have a primary focus on long-lived assets, including leases, goodwill, intangibles and property, plant and equipment. The position requires the ability to manage multiple on-going initiatives, several of which may be project based, across different stakeholders. There will be exposure to various cross functional teams including Global Reporting, Accounting Policy, Controllership, Sherwin Business Services (SBS) and Commercial Finance.

Work with various cross functional teams (Global Reporting, Accounting Policy, Controllership, SBS and Commercial Finance) to prepare and update process documentation for various long-lived asset process streams using flowcharts. This includes documenting the procedures and assumptions/standardization efforts so that transactions are accounted for consistently and accurately across the organization.
Perform various recurring tasks including, but not limited to the following:
Facilitate the creation and preparation of quarterly and annual disclosure schedules relating to long-lived assets which tie out to underlying subledger detail and general ledger balances
Monthly review of capitalized software
Monthly review of ASC 842 lease accounting rollforward and schedules used for quarterly disclosures
Indefinite lived intangible asset, goodwill & lease impairment monitoring and testing
Monthly monitoring of abnormal long-lived asset balances
Conduct the quarterly real estate meeting to obtain updates on sales, purchases and transfers of property globally, including identification of proceeds and gains/losses as applicable
Certain long-lived asset account reconciliations
Lead the accounting workstream for the Lucernex real estate lifecycle management software implementation, including assisting the Director of the Accounting CoE with project management. This is a key accounting & finance initiative to replace the company's current lease accounting software. Involves coordination and oversight of various business partners including SBS, Global Controllership and various third-party contractors.
Ensure overall accuracy of the long-lived assets balances on the Company's balance sheet by performing reviews of long-lived asset account reconciliations. This includes ensuring reconciling items identified are investigated and resolved in a timely manner.
Collaborate with the Global Finance Policy & SOX Risks and Controls teams to maintain and update current global accounting policies and controls related to long-lived assets.
Be willing to take on special projects and initiatives within the Accounting CoE which may or may not be related to long-lived assets with a focus on being a business partner to others across the organization.
