About this role

Equifax is where you can power your possible. If you want to achieve your true potential, chart new paths, develop new skills, collaborate with bright minds,  and make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you.

As the Manager of Internal Controls and Accounting Policy, you will serve as a technical guardian of our financial integrity. You will not just report the numbers; you will define the policies that govern them and the controls that secure them. Sitting at the intersection of SEC reporting, technical accounting research, and internal compliance, you will play a critical role in our continued financial transformation, including our shift to the Equifax Cloud. This is an opportunity to join a high-visibility team within the office of the CFO.

This position offers the flexibility to work remotely two days a week, or from our global corporate HQ in Midtown, Atlanta, GA. (This is not a fully-remote role). This position does not offer immigration sponsorship (current or future) including F-1 STEM OPT extension support.

What You’ll Do:

  • SEC Reporting & Financial Integrity: Drive the preparation and rigorous review of periodic SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q) and earnings releases, ensuring financial data accuracy and narrative alignment. You will coordinate the management representation letter process and sub-certification workflows.

  • Technical Accounting Leadership: Serve as a subject matter expert on US GAAP. You will research complex technical accounting issues, draft high-quality white papers, and provide guidance on revenue recognition, M&A integration, and new standard adoption.

  • Policy Governance: Own the maintenance and evolution of corporate accounting policies. You will proactively draft new policies to address emerging business models and regulatory changes.

  • Internal Controls (SOX) Custodian: Act as the primary custodian of internal control documentation. You will ensure the documentation of the control environment is current, update process flows, and coordinate SOX 404 efforts with both Internal and External auditors (EY).

  • Strategic Projects: Participate in high-impact projects, including system implementations, process improvements related to our Cloud transformation, and accounting diligence procedures for potential acquisitions.

What Experience You Need:

  • Education & Certification: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting is required. An active CPA license is required.

  • Professional Background: 4-6 years of progressive accounting experience, with a strong preference for candidates coming directly from Big 4 or large regional public accounting firms (Assurance/Audit track).

  • Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated expertise in US GAAP, SEC reporting requirements, and SOX 404 compliance. Experience with revenue recognition (ASC 606) is highly valued.

  • Operational Capability: Proven ability to operate independently with limited oversight (P3 level), managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, publicly traded corporate environment.

What Could Set You Apart:

  • Public Audit Experience: Experience auditing large, public, multinational clients in the Technology, FinTech, SaaS, or Financial Services sectors.

  • Tool Agility: Deep working knowledge of Workiva (Wdesk) for reporting, along with advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google Suite.

  • Ownership Mindset: A track record of taking complex, ambiguous problems and driving them to resolution with a high degree of prioritization and multitasking.

  • Communication: The ability to distill complex accounting concepts into clear, concise memos and verbal updates for senior leadership.
