About the Role
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where ambition meets action and innovation is a way of life. As a Senior Accountant within the M&A team, you will play a critical role in the technical accounting analysis, financial pre-close integration, and post-close integration related to the Company’s acquisition strategy. You will partner with Corporate Development, Finance, Legal, Tax, Employee Success, and Operations teams to evaluate potential transactions, assess accounting implications, prepare technical documentation, and ensure accurate, timely reporting of acquired entities.

Your responsibilities will include performing technical accounting research and documentation related to business combinations, asset acquisitions, equity transactions, and fair value measurements. You will support purchase price allocations, goodwill and intangible asset assessments, and preparation of opening balance sheets including ERP mapping and posting requirements. You will analyze accounting topics such as stock-based compensation, foreign currency translation, consolidation, and statutory reporting across jurisdictions.

In addition, you will participate in financial accounting preparation meetings to identify risks and integration challenges, assist in evaluating historical financial statements and quality of earnings, and provide accounting input into deal structuring and purchase term agreements. You will lead or support accounting integration tasks including system alignment, chart of accounts mapping, close process integration, and policy harmonization.

Partnering with cross-functional teams, you will develop and execute integration plans, establish scalable processes and internal controls for newly acquired businesses, and execute rationalization of domestic and international legal entities. You will also act as a resource to corporate and regional finance teams on M&A accounting issues, communicate technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and contribute to continuous improvement of M&A accounting practices and processes.

At Salesforce, you will have the opportunity to unleash your potential and be part of a company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era, supported by benefits and resources that help you find balance and do your best work.
