THE WORK:
As a Senior Derivative Accountant on the Confidential (Registered Users Only) Treasury Managed Services team, you serve as the subject matter expert on derivative instruments and hedging relationships across a portfolio of clients. You own the full technical accounting lifecycle under both ASC 815 and IFRS 9: documentation, effectiveness testing, journal entries, and disclosures.
This is a hands-on role for a technical specialist who thrives with complexity, takes ownership of client engagements end-to-end, and communicates clearly with treasury and finance stakeholders at every level.

- Prepare and review hedge documentation, designation memos, risk management objectives, and formal effectiveness testing under ASC 815 and IFRS 9.
- Execute quantitative and qualitative effectiveness assessments (regression analysis, dollar-offset, hypothetical derivative method) on both a prospective and retrospective basis.
- Prepare journal entries and financial statement disclosures related to hedging activities and answer client inquiries about our deliverables
- Apply critical judgment on hedge accounting elections, fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, and de-designation scenarios.
- Translate new FASB and IASB guidance into clear, actionable impact summaries for clients and internal teams.
- Lead audit support — preparation of work product and direct engagement with external auditors on derivative and hedge accounting matters.
- Strengthen internal methodologies, templates, and technical guidance.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- CPA preferred; advanced degree in Accounting or Finance a plus.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with derivative instruments and hedge accounting — in public accounting, industry, or consulting environment.
- Deep technical fluency in ASC 815 and IFRS 9, including practical hedge accounting elections and disclosure requirements.
- Experience with fair value measurement (ASC 820 / IFRS 13) and familiarity with derivative valuation methodologies.
- Comfortable managing multiple client engagements simultaneously — precise, organized, and able to meet tight deadlines.
- Strong communicator: you make complex accounting conclusions accessible to non-technical audiences.
- Experience with hedge accounting platforms (Confidential (Registered Users Only) Treasury, Chatham Financial, Reval, FIS Quantum, or similar) preferred.
