Ambiq (NYSE: AMBQ) is looking for a Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting Manager who loves the details and the big picture—someone who can own SEC reporting, navigate complex technical accounting questions, and coordinate global statutory and tax compliance with confidence.

If you’re the person everyone turns to for “What does the guidance actually say?” and you enjoy being at the center of a fast-moving, global public company, this role is built for you.

The Role

You’ll be the primary owner of Ambiq’s external financial reporting and a key partner to Finance, Legal, and our external auditors. You’ll shape how we tell our financial story to the Street and ensure that our reporting, controls, and policies scale as the company grows.

What You’ll Do

SEC & External Reporting

• Own the preparation and filing of Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K (press releases), and related disclosures from end to end.
• Draft and review financial statements, cash flow and equity statements, footnotes, MD&A, and supporting schedules, maintaining a robust disclosure checklist.
• Manage Ambiq’s external reporting software (including XBRL review and live-filing) to ensure accurate, timely submissions.
• Coordinate cross-functional reviews with Accounting/FP&A, Legal, and External Auditors, incorporating feedback and maintaining a strong understanding of non-GAAP metrics and adjustments.
• Support other key deliverables including the proxy statement, investor presentations, and financial materials for future transactions.

Technical Accounting & Controls

• Apply deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP across key areas such as share-based compensation, leases, intangible and fixed assets, including valuation and impairment considerations.
• Maintain Ambiq’s global accounting policies and help strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting.
• Research, document, and implement U.S. GAAP and SEC guidance for new, unusual, or complex transactions—serving as a go-to resource for the broader Finance team.
• Serve as a critical owner of SOX compliance for internal control over financial reporting.

Foreign Statutory Reporting

• Oversee the preparation and submission of statutory financial statements for Ambiq’s international subsidiaries (Taiwan, Singapore, China, Hong Kong).
• Partner with local teams and external service providers to ensure compliance with local GAAP, regulations, and filing requirements.

Global & U.S. Tax Coordination

• Support third-party preparation of U.S. federal and state income tax returns and global tax filings.
• Coordinate with external tax advisors to ensure accurate tax disclosures and reporting in SEC and statutory filings.

What You Bring

• CPA strongly preferred; additional credentials (e.g., CGMA) are a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required.
• 5–7 years of progressive experience in financial reporting or Big Four public company audit (or a mix of both).
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP (including ASC 350, 718, 842, 740), SEC rules, and disclosure requirements.
• Advanced Excel skills, including building and maintaining complex models, pivot tables, and named ranges.
• Experience with SEC reporting tools (ActiveDisclosure or Workiva preferred).
• Familiarity with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred).

About You

• You thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and know how to prioritize when everything feels important.
• You have exceptional attention to detail—but you don’t lose sight of the overall story the numbers need to tell.
• You bring a positive, flexible, “can-do” attitude and are comfortable working through ambiguity.
• You collaborate naturally across Accounting, FP&A, Legal, Tax, and international teams, and you communicate clearly with executives and external stakeholders.
• Your written and verbal communication is crisp, structured, and tailored to your audience, from staff accountants to the CFO.
• You’re a self-starter who takes ownership, drives projects to completion, and doesn’t need step-by-step instructions.

**Must be currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer. We do not sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas (now or in the future) for this role.

What You Need 

We're seeking passionate technologists who thrive on pushing boundaries, solving complex challenges, and driving transformative solutions.
