📋 Description

• Lead the operational accounting function. Monthly and quarterly close, GL integrity, sub-ledger architecture, and the systems that run them. Design the function for first-audit and the year that follows. • Lead the ERP migration. Partner with the CAO on platform selection (NetSuite, Rillet, Everest, and others under evaluation), then lead implementation end-to-end. • Lead the team. Operational accounting — close/GL, AP, AR, payroll, accounting systems. Develop the managers under you. Hire the layer beneath them. Set the bar for the function. • Operationalize technical accounting in partnership with the Director, Technical Accounting. Instrument the GL and sub-ledgers for ASC 718, 606, 842, 340, and 805. You don't write policy; you build the system that makes it executable. • Deliver Year-1 audit operationally. Stand up PBC delivery. Codify accounting policies in the system. Defend the opening balance sheet. The CAO owns the partner relationship; you own the system that delivers fieldwork. • Build the SOX control environment. Design the operational control perimeter from scratch, ahead of IPO. Effective, not heavy. • Lead the AI-native transformation of operational accounting. The system should get easier as the company grows. • Scale with the function. As scope expands, take on broader accounting leadership — succession planning, cross-functional finance partnership, board-level support to the CAO.

🎯 Requirements

• 12+ years of accounting experience, with at least 6 in a senior operating role at a high-growth company. Pre-IPO or recently public is ideal. • Experience taking a company through its first audit — not its first audit at a new firm, its first ever. • Direct experience leading an ERP migration end-to-end at meaningful scale. • Track record of designing an operational accounting function — not just running one. You've made the architecture choices that shape what the team becomes. • Operational fluency in ASC 718, 606, and 842 — not policy authorship, but knowing what the GL and sub-ledgers need to deliver. • Experience standing up SOX from scratch. • Demonstrable AI-native practice you've built into a real accounting function — your team using AI daily, not just you. • Experience managing managers and developing senior leaders underneath you. Multi-entity exposure relevant as our footprint grows. • CPA preferred, not required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Holistic health • Medical, dental, vision benefits • Annual wellness stipend • Mental health support • Life, STD, LTD Income Insurance Plans • Unlimited PTO • Generous paid parental leave • Flexible schedule • 12 Paid US company holidays • Quarterly personal productivity stipend • One-time stipend for home office upgrades • 401(k) plan with company match • Tax Savings Programs • Learning / Education stipend • Participation in talks and conferences • Employee Resource Groups • AI enablement workshops / sessions
