The Global Accounting organization has opportunities for builders in a variety of areas. These opportunities include corporate accounting and reporting, AWS finance, product launches, retail, and more.
Here, you’ll work with people who are bright and driven. You’ll need to be analytical and have a passion for accounting in order to succeed. We set high standards and stay ahead of a business that grows very fast. We work hard, have fun, and make history. We take this very seriously. And you should too!
We drive both internal and external reporting of consolidated and local statutory results. We manage global intercompany activities, currency transactions, acquisitions, investments, internal controls design, and more.
Our FBI managers support the launch and scale of projects that are impactful for customers. We partner with operational teams and others to see a project from start to finish. Our tech teams address reporting and operational requirements and automate our tools.
These teams have a controllership function over certain lines of business. We gather and analyze data, and we make sure financial results are accurate. Our aim is to keep the confidence of our investors. We’re an integral part of the entire business, from Prime Video to AWS.
The most unique thing about Amazon is the that there are so many different industries and businesses under one umbrella, and in Accounting, you have the opportunity to get exposed to all of them.
My coworkers are intelligent, driven and respectful. I feel lucky to work and learn alongside them. We also make it a priority to be inclusive and have fun. There are annual Halloween competitions, ski days, pie bake-offs, volunteering, movie days, and more. Doesn’t sound much like the accounting stereotype, right?
My favorite thing about Amazon is the people and the opportunity to work in areas that not many companies are in. I consider the people I work with to be my friends and not just co-workers. It’s energizing and makes you excited to come to the office.
My advice for anyone interested in Amazon is to be very comfortable telling your story. Everyone who works here has a unique set of skills they bring to work every day, and you do too. That’s what you have to share during your interview, and you have to be very knowledgeable about what you’ve accomplished.
The culture in Amazon is innovative and empowering. We’re constantly challenged to “Think Big” in our problem solving, which is a refreshing departure from the standard rhetoric in many companies. Many other companies are risk-averse. Amazon Accounting encourages innovative thinking to problem solving.
