Amazon is a pioneering and dynamic company that thrives on innovation and customer-centric approaches at a global scale. We take pride in our single-minded obsession over customer satisfaction and our ability to maintain a curious and innovative environment no matter how large the company grows. We endeavor to build our legacy as Earth's most customer-centric company and to continue to foster an environment of innovation through our mission to hire the best. If you are a financial accounting professional who consistently exceeds expectations, who dares to make bold decisions, and is motivated by challenges, then Amazon is a place where your career can flourish.
When working at Amazon, your ability to make a difference and take ownership of your career begins on day one. You can expect a collaborative, team-driven environment that encourages employees to learn, be curious, and have a bias for action. Part of this propensity for continuous learning shows itself in Amazon's strong encouragement of movement and growth within the Accounting department and within the company as a whole. We aim to hire and develop those who will raise the bar over the course of their career at Amazon. Amazon's accounting group offers opportunities at the Senior Accountant level in Legal Entity & Intercompany, Accounting Policy & Reporting, Operations and Capital, Transportation, Payments & Merchant Services, Retail Operations, Digital, and AWS Accounting.
Key job responsibilities
Lead key components of the accounting and reporting close process.
Apply accounting and financial principles to support accurate financial reporting and sound decision making.
Assess the effectiveness of controls in your area and participate in the design of new controls for emerging and growing business activities.
Exercise judgment to drive decisions and keep projects moving to close the books each month.
Take full ownership of your area and drive issues to resolution.
Analyze complex processes and systems data to identify root causes and surface insights.
A day in the life
This role sits at the intersection of accounting, tax, and technology. You'll be involved in the monthly close cycle, operationalizing new intercompany agreements, testing calculations before they go live, supporting internal controls work, and jumping in on audit requests when needed.
What makes this role interesting is the variety. Some days you're deep in the numbers; other days you're working across teams. Some months will be smooth; others will ask you to troubleshoot and make judgment calls under pressure. If you enjoy solving complex problems and building real expertise in technical accounting, you'll find a lot to like here.
About the team
The Global Transfer Pricing Close and Reporting team is responsible for the worldwide accounting of Amazon's intercompany transfer pricing transactions — ensuring charges are accurate, compliant with the arm's length principle, and booked on time across Amazon's global entity structure.
We are an agile, high-ownership team that moves fast and takes pride in getting the details right. We partner closely with tax and finance teams across the business. If you're looking for a place to build deep technical expertise while working on problems that matter at a global scale, this is it.
