The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Merck is hiring a Accounting Manager in Pittsburgh, PA.

• Role description

  Half the job is closing the books; the other half is explaining what they mean, and Merck needs both from its Accounting Manager. Here, an Accounting Manager owns their work, partners with a tight team, and earns $95,000 - $141,000 while building their career.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the $95,000 - $141,000 compensation accrual and the math behind every line
  • Manage banking relationships and optimize treasury operations
  • Carry the internship payroll run from gross calc to filed tax deposit
  • Reconcile payroll liabilities so the PA filings never bounce
  • Pair Power BI reporting with Cash Flow Management reviews for a tighter feedback loop

  What You'll Bring

  • The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
  • Proven SAP judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
  • Manager mastery of Month-End Close, validated by people who'd hire you again
  • Equal parts Consolidations depth and Written Communication curiosity
  • Demonstrated calm when a Pittsburgh, PA client changes scope mid-stream
  • Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation

  The team at Merck is small, clarity-seeking, and entirely convinced that Pittsburgh is the best place to reinvent finance. Our values show up in small daily choices, not just a poster on the wall.

  In return for your Written Communication expertise, you'll earn $95,000 - $141,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.
