About the Team

OpenAI Finance is responsible for ensuring the organization is set up for success in pursuit of its mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Intercompany & Consolidations Accounting Lead to own and elevate our global consolidation and intercompany accounting operations. In this role, you will ensure the accuracy and timeliness of our consolidated financials, streamline intercompany processes, and drive continuous improvement in systems and controls with a special focus on Oracle FCCS as our consolidation tool. You will be a pivotal interface between global finance teams, treasury, tax, and systems to support our mission-critical financial close and reporting processes.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the end-to-end global consolidation process using Oracle FCCS: collect, validate, consolidate, eliminate, translate foreign currency, and deliver consolidated financial statements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP.

• Manage intercompany accounting operations: establish and maintain intercompany agreements, coordinate intercompany transactions (charges, settlements, eliminations), reconcile intercompany balances, and resolve differences timely.

• Serve as the subject-matter expert for Oracle FCCS, driving configuration, automation, data flow optimization, and standardization across entities.

• Partner closely with global finance teams, tax, treasury, and systems to ensure consistent accounting treatment across subsidiaries, correct foreign currency translation, and effective cash/intercompany settlement practices.

• Develop, document, and enforce robust internal controls around the consolidation and intercompany processes, enabling audit readiness and compliance (including SOX / internal control environment).

• Prepare and review journal entries, consolidation adjustments, elimination entries and reconciliations tied to the close process; ensure accurate and timely monthly and quarterly close.

• Collaborate with external auditors on consolidation related audits and support preparation of materials for leadership.

• Identify opportunities for process improvements, system enhancements and operational efficiencies that champion automation, scalability and best practices in a high-growth environment.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (or equivalent).

• CPA (active or inactive) or equivalent professional accounting qualification.

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 4 years in consolidations and intercompany accounting leadership.

• Strong technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including foreign currency translation, acquisition accounting (if relevant), and eliminations.

• Demonstrated experience working with Oracle FCCS (or equivalent large-scale consolidation system) in a multi-entity global organization.

• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills - ability to collaborate across global teams, translate technical accounting issues into actionable guidance, and work in a fast-paced environment.

• Proven ability to lead process improvement, system implementation or automation efforts.

• Experience in a high-growth tech or AI company.

• Exposure to SOX compliance, internal controls design and audit readiness.

• Prior public accounting or external audit experience.

• Familiarity with treasury/intercompany cash flows, transfer pricing considerations, and global accounting integrations.

• Drive a streamlined, timely and high-quality monthly and quarterly close through Oracle FCCS with minimal manual interventions.

• Deliver fully reconciled intercompany balances across global entities, and reduce intercompany reconciling items and age.

• Establish documented, repeatable, scalable processes that enhance audit readiness, internal control effectiveness, and operational efficiency.

• Enable visibility and transparency of consolidated financial performance for leadership and support data-driven strategic decisions.

• Lead continuous improvement and automation efforts that free up capacity for strategic analysis and reduce risk.
