This is a hands-on, player-coach Manager role within the US Accounting Team. You will own the global intercompany accounting process across IonQ's growing portfolio of domestic and international legal entities. The position combines direct execution of monthly intercompany close and transfer pricing entries with responsibility for designing scalable processes, systems, and controls that support the function as the company scales.
Key responsibilities include:
**Intercompany Close & Transfer Pricing:** Own the end-to-end monthly intercompany close, including preparation and review of intercompany journal entries, cross-charges, and cost allocations. Calculate and book transfer pricing entries (cost-plus service arrangements, markups, IP/royalty charges) in accordance with IonQ's transfer pricing policies. Partner with Tax and external advisors to translate transfer pricing policy into operational accounting entries and support annual transfer pricing documentation. Reconcile intercompany balances between entities and manage periodic intercompany settlement and netting cycles with Treasury.
**Consolidation & Foreign Currency:** Prepare and review intercompany eliminations for monthly consolidation. Account for FX remeasurement and translation on intercompany balances, including long-term-investment-nature designations under ASC 830. Support standalone legal entity financials and coordinate with local accounting providers on statutory reporting for international subsidiaries. Support accounting integration of newly acquired and newly formed entities.
**Process, Systems & Automation:** Build and document scalable intercompany processes, calendars, and policies. Drive intercompany automation within OneStream, including automated intercompany transactions, elimination logic, and multi-book/multi-currency configuration. Identify root causes of recurring intercompany discrepancies and implement upstream fixes. Train and support entity controllers and business partners on intercompany requirements.
**Controls, Audit & Compliance:** Design, document, and execute internal controls over intercompany and consolidation processes. Serve as primary intercompany contact for external auditors, preparing schedules and supporting documentation. Research and document accounting positions on intercompany, consolidation, and foreign currency matters under US GAAP (ASC 810, ASC 830).
