This position requires someone who has already built a foundation in technical accounting through Big 4 audit or advisory experience and has since moved into industry, where they've begun applying that judgment to real transactions.\nThe ideal candidate is enthusiastic about technical accounting for its own sake - someone who enjoys digging into an ASC topic, building the analysis, and writing the memo that will hold up to auditor and investor scrutiny - and has prior experience in a growth stage company in a technical accounting role. This is a role for someone who has established themselves as a go-to resource on technical accounting matters and is looking to deepen that expertise further, rather than move into a purely operational track.\nReporting directly to the VP, Controller, the Senior Technical Accounting Manager will work in close collaboration with leaders and teams across Terawatt.\nCore Responsibilities\nTechnical Accounting & Research\nConduct accounting research and author clear, well-supported policy memos for complex and non-routine transactions.\n\nAnalyze the accounting treatment for complex debt and equity instruments, including new financing arrangements as Terawatt raises capital to scale.\n\nEvaluate customer contracts and revenue arrangements, ensuring recognition treatment is well-documented and consistently applied. (ASC 606).\n\nSupport fair value measurement analysis and disclosures across applicable transactions and instruments. (ASC 820)\n\nApply ASC 946 considerations where relevant to Terawatt's investment structures and vehicles.\n\nConstruction, CIP & Asset Accounting\nOwn the accounting for construction-in-progress (CIP) across Terawatt's charging site development pipeline, from initial capitalization through placed-in-service.\n\nMaintain the fixed asset ledger and ensure capitalization policies are applied consistently across a fast-growing real estate and infrastructure portfolio.\n\nPartner with Construction, Real Estate, and FP&A teams to ensure project costs are captured, classified, and reported accurately and on schedule.\n\nReporting & Controls Support\nSupport the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting packages, particularly technical areas requiring accounting judgment.\n\nPrepare technical audit support and serve as a subject-matter point of contact for external auditors on assigned areas.\n\nApply SOX-standard documentation and control practices to technical accounting deliverables.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nActive CPA designation required.\n\nBig 4 audit or advisory experience required.\n\nMinimum 8 years of relevant experience\n\nHands-on exposure to ASC 606, ASC 820, and ASC 946; complex debt and equity accounting; and construction/CIP or asset accounting strongly preferred.\n\nDeep US GAAP knowledge\n\nExceptional attention to detail and a \"zero-defect\" mindset toward technical documentation and reporting.\n\nMotivated to drive research and analysis independently, with strong follow-through and sound judgment.\n\nAble to manage tight, sometimes shifting deadlines in a fast-moving scale-up environment.\n\nGenuine enthusiasm for technical accounting - this role is for someone who wants to go deeper into GAAP research, not step away from it.\n\nTeam player who enjoys the \"build\" phase of a company and brings a positive, collaborative attitude to the work.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nNetSuite ERP experience preferred.\n\nExperience working in a technical accounting role in a growth stage / startup company.\n\nFamiliarity with SOX compliance is considered an asset.\n\nIFRS exposure a plus.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3841,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation & Logistics","EV Charging","Road Transport"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-18T00:09:02Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":162500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":50,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.831,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":65,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/terawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/terawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T08:37:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4901,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8509},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8509"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fterawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fterawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fterawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/terawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fterawatt-infrastructure-senior-technical-accounting-manager"}]}
