Auror, Denver, CO, United States


About Auror
At Auror, we're empowering the retail industry to tackle theft and Organised Retail Crime, a $150 billion problem globally. It's high volume crime that's increasingly organised in nature and is putting people, retailers, and communities at risk every day. Founded in New Zealand 12 years ago, we're working with some of the best and largest retailers in the world across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Auror is connecting people and intelligence to reduce crime. We're using technology for good. In partnership with our leading retail partners, we need people with the passion, determination, and innovation required to overcome one of the world's largest problems. If you're looking to make a difference with and for the people dedicated to stopping crime, for good, then we want you on our team. We're also embracing the potential of AI to supercharge our impact.

The Role
As our Management Accountant, you'll play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and scalability of Auror's finance operations across North America.

Reporting to the Director of Finance, you will own key regional finance processes end‑to‑end, including month‑end close, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, tax compliance, and operational reporting, ensuring they are accurate, timely, and aligned with both local regulatory requirements and IFRS group reporting standards.

You'll be a strong team member, trusted to independently manage core financial processes while serving as a key business partner to the North America team. You'll not only deliver high‑quality financial outputs, but also proactively improve systems, simplify workflows, and drive automation and AI adoption that enables Auror to scale efficiently in a high‑growth environment.

Practically, this will involve

Taking ownership of reporting across the North American region, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. Preparing variance analyses and commentary that connect financial results to business performance

Maintaining reconciliations, journals, and compliance with relevant accounting standards and internal controls

Owning the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable process for North America, ensuring timely and accurate invoicing, strong customer and vendor management, effective controls, and proactive visibility over cashflow impacts including FX and risk considerations

Partnering with stakeholders to explain financial results and identify opportunities for improvement. Developing and maintaining financial reports and dashboards that drive visibility and accountability across the North American business

Leading finance transformation initiatives both within the region and globally, including automation and AI adoption, process simplification, and system enhancements

Supporting forecasting and planning cycles, helping regional teams plan effectively and make informed decisions

Identifying and managing financial and compliance risks, ensuring high standards of accuracy, governance, and operational discipline across North America

Supporting North American tax compliance, including leading annual income tax filings, state sales tax requirements, payroll‑related filings, and ensuring intercompany activity aligns with Auror's transfer pricing policy

Payroll compliance, ensuring accurate processing, timely statutory payments, and adherence to all federal and state reporting requirements

Supporting the group audit, coordinating regional deliverables, preparing required documentation, and ensuring accurate, timely responses to auditor requests

Requirements
You're a technically strong accountant or finance professional who combines operational excellence with commercial curiosity.
