    Description

    The Director of Accounting will lead an accounting management team, directly supervise two Controllers that oversee a staff of 20 accountants, and partner closely with the SVP of Financial Operations on strategic initiatives, operational improvements, and departmental direction.

    This is far more than a traditional “close the books” accounting role.

    The company is looking for someone who can:
    • Lead and develop high-performing accounting teams
    • Drive accountability, operational efficiency, and process improvement
    • Standardize workflows and improve reporting through data and analytics
    • Navigate complex financial conversations with boards and leadership teams
    • Serve as a technical accounting resource across the organization
    • Help scale systems, controls, reporting, and accounting operations
    • Partner cross-functionally with operations, IT, training, and business development teams

    Additional areas of responsibility include:

    Oversight of monthly financial reporting and reviews
    Managing complex multi-entity accounting environments
    Supporting audits, internal controls, and SSAE-18 / SOC compliance
    Leading accounting integrations for acquisitions
    Developing KPIs, dashboards, and departmental metrics
    Driving technology enhancements and accounting system improvements
    Coaching and mentoring Controllers and accounting staff

    Ideal background:

    • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
    • 5+ years of accounting leadership experience
    • Strong technical accounting and financial reporting expertise
    • Advanced Excel skills including Power Query, macros, pivot tables, and large data analysis
    • Experience leading teams
    • CPA preferred

    The ideal candidate is a forward-thinking accounting leader who thrives in high-volume environments, enjoys solving operational challenges, and knows how to elevate both people and processes.

    This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step into a strategic leadership role with strong visibility and influence across the organization.
