(NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion. 

Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.

About the role

As Associate Manager, Consolidation & Reporting, you will lead the OpenTable brand’s external reporting obligations. You’ll be responsible for preparing and coordinating the audit of the OpenTable legal entity statutory accounts, working closely with our auditors, and responding to ad hoc external reporting requests (for example, information requests from the UK Office for National Statistics).

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys hands-on accounting work, clear communication, and collaborating across teams.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including those from groups traditionally underrepresented in finance and accounting. If you’re excited by the role but don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply.

What you’ll do

External reporting and statutory accounts

• Prepare accurate and timely OpenTable legal entity statutory accounts, ensuring they comply with relevant accounting standards and company law.
• Lead the audit process, including drafting the statutory reporting timetable, serving as the main point of contact for auditors, and coordinating with the OpenTable accounting team to deliver audit support on time.
• Coordinate and respond to external reporting requests and obligations outside of the statutory accounts (for example, government and regulatory information requests).
• Provide clear and timely updates on external reporting matters to the Senior Manager, Consolidation & Reporting and the VP, Controllership.
• Draft clear, concise accounting memos and summaries on accounting events and topics related to the statutory accounts.

Consolidation and BHI reporting

• Support the consolidation and month-end close process for the OpenTable brand, including consolidating various regions and foreign currencies in OneStream.
• Align expectations in advance on the timing and content of key deliverables with BHI, ensuring submissions are accurate, complete, and clearly explained.
• Help manage BHI-related deliverables and deadlines, including a five-business-day close cycle, reporting workbooks, post‑close adjustments, and other recurring reporting needs.
• Perform monthly, quarterly, and annual financial and fluctuation analysis. Partner with the accounting team to understand key drivers and provide clear commentary on financial statement movements to senior finance partners (for example, the brand CFO, VP Controllership, BHI, and external auditors).
• Take responsibility for specific accounting areas (for example, equity and investments), including preparing balance sheet reconciliations as required.

Projects, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Contribute to Consolidation & Reporting team projects and, where appropriate, lead and organize individual workstreams.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Finance and Accounting (for example, FinOps, Tax, GL, FP&A) to support shared reporting goals and requirements.
• Coordinate internal and external ad hoc requests by clarifying objectives, why they matter, expected timing, and setting up simple templates to capture the information needed.
• Communicate progress and issues promptly to the Senior Manager, Consolidation & Reporting, raising risks early and proposing practical solutions.
• Identify and implement improvements to processes and tools that increase efficiency, accuracy, and team capacity.
• Prepare clear, well-structured accounting memos and summaries for the Controllership team on consolidation and reporting matters.

Experience and skills

You don’t need to meet every bullet to be considered. If you have relevant experience and are keen to grow, we’d like to hear from you.

• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with complex financial data.
• Experience with statutory reporting and/or group consolidation (for example, preparing statutory accounts, supporting audits, or working on multi-entity or multi-currency consolidation).
• Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal, including the ability to explain technical topics in a straightforward way.
• Proactive approach to work: able to manage your own tasks, follow through on commitments, and ask for support when needed.
• Ability to prioritize and organize multiple deadlines and requests in a fast-moving environment.
• Interest in learning, improving processes, and sharing knowledge with others.
