Lineage seeks a Lease Accounting Analyst to support its global ASC 842 lease accounting function across the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific. This individual contributor role executes the monthly lease cycle—including abstraction, journal entries, reconciliations, and disclosure support—with high accountability for accuracy, documentation, and deadline adherence.
Key responsibilities include:
**Lease Abstraction & Administration:** Identify new, modified, and terminated leases from monthly inquiries and apply materiality thresholds. Abstract qualifying leases into the lease subledger (LeaseController, transitioning to MRI), verify lease classification and ROU asset calculations, maintain the lease tracker, and process modifications and remeasurement events.
**Month-End Close & Journal Entries:** Complete monthly close reviews, apply Workday FX rates, convert LeaseController journal entries to Workday accounts, prepare regional files for US, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific, load entries through Workday EIB, resolve import errors, and route entries through approval workflows.
**Reconciliations & Account Certification:** Prepare holding cash and balance sheet roll-forward reconciliations, investigate variances above threshold, support capital lease payment reconciliations for Europe and the UK, and prepare Blackline account certifications with complete supporting documentation.
**Financial Reporting & Audit Support:** Support quantitative ASC 842 disclosures for 10-Q and 10-K filings, prepare variance commentary, assist with budget and forecast updates, and provide documentation to internal and external auditors.
**Collaboration & Process Improvement:** Partner with AP, Real Estate, Transportation, Procurement, Treasury, Technical Accounting, and regional finance teams to resolve discrepancies. Support lease system implementation, data validation, and remediation.
Success requires accurate, complete work with clear documentation; end-to-end ownership of assignments delivered on the close calendar; timely and professional communication; and independent navigation of systems with continuous improvement.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting
- 1–3 years of public, corporate, or lease accounting experience
- Working knowledge of US GAAP
- Strong Excel skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, month-end close environment
**Preferred:**
- CPA license (CPA candidates considered)
- Public accounting audit experience
- Familiarity with ASC 842, Workday, LeaseController, or MRI
- Experience in a global, multi-currency environment
LeaseController or lease accounting experience is not required; Lineage will provide training on ASC 842 and internal systems.
