📋 Description

• Lead the first-year GAAS audit end to end: direct the team through remediation of historical balances, prepare audit-ready opening balances and supporting schedules, and drive the engagement to a clean opinion on deadline, with a PCAOB-readiness mindset throughout. • Own the monthly and quarterly close calendar across the multi-entity structure: enforce timeline discipline, direct multi-currency consolidation and intercompany eliminations, and ensure every sub-function (Treasury, Payroll, AP/AR, FinOps) delivers accounting-ready inputs before close, not after. • Serve as the company's authoritative voice on U.S. GAAP: write and own technical accounting memos referencing applicable ASC guidance, take defensible positions under audit scrutiny, and codify accounting policies and procedures across the group. • Own equity and stock-compensation accounting (cap table, ASC 718) and related disclosures; coordinate PFIC reporting for U.S. investors in foreign structures, partnering with the Tax Director and external tax advisors to deliver PFIC Annual Information Statements and QEF support on time. • Use Claude to draft and iterate on technical accounting memos, build automated close workflows with structured reminders and sub-function checklists, and validate that outputs from Treasury, Payroll, AP/AR, and FinOps are accounting-ready before close, reducing manual follow-up and compressing the close cycle. • Build and maintain NetSuite workflows, month-end close automation, and reconciliation automation in coordination with FinOps; both build simple automations directly and direct the team on more complex integrations. • Manage external auditors and advisors (Big 4 or national firm) to scope, quality, and timeline: you drive their schedule, not the other way around. • Build and deliver board reporting packages; own the external auditor and advisory relationships as the designated PAO-track leader. • Lead and develop the accounting team: set the standard for technical accuracy, operational discipline, and audit-ready deliverables, and pull the team forward rather than simply reviewing their output.

🎯 Requirements

• Active U.S. CPA license, required: this role is the designated Principal Accounting Officer track for the company. • A Big 4 or national firm audit foundation followed by industry controllership experience in a complex, multi-entity structure: you have personally led a first-year or initial audit, including directing a team through historical remediation to a clean opinion, not just participated in one. • U.S. GAAP technical depth across equity and stock-compensation accounting (ASC 718), multi-entity consolidations, revenue recognition, and impairment/fair value, sufficient to write and defend technical memos under audit and board scrutiny. • Demonstrated ability to manage external auditors and advisors to firm deadlines: evidence that you have driven a Big 4 or national firm engagement rather than slipping to the firm's pace. • Proven people leadership of a senior accounting team: you set direction, hold the standard, and develop the people. You are close enough to the work to review, unblock, and own the hard judgments, but you do not do the work for the team. • Hands-on experience with NetSuite (workflow configuration, close automation, reconciliation automation) and a track record of integrating finance tools to improve close efficiency. • Proven track record of using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or comparable) to draft technical accounting memos, build automated close workflows, and validate sub-function outputs: daily, applied AI usage in this role is a baseline expectation, not a learning opportunity.
