Manager, Accounting

We are a high-growth, global, private-equity-backed software company with an active acquisition strategy. As we scale, we are building a best-in-class accounting leadership team grounded in execution, ownership, and operational discipline.

This role is an ideal opportunity for professionals with a strong, traditional accounting background who are looking to expand their exposure to ERP systems, system integrations, and project-based work—while continuing to deepen their core accounting expertise. In a high-growth, PE-backed software environment with an active acquisition strategy, you’ll operate at the center of accounting operations and execution. You’ll partner on month-end close end-to-end, build scalable and repeatable processes, and partner closely with business systems and cross-functional teams. You’ll also gain hands-on experience supporting ERP integrations and acquisition onboarding, making this a great fit for accountants who enjoy operational ownership, structured execution, and growing their scope alongside a scaling organization

Key Responsibilities

Month-End Close & Accounting Operations (Primary)

• Own day-to-day execution of the month-end close for assigned areas.
• Prepare and review journal entries and supporting schedules.
• Review balance sheet reconciliations and ensure timely, well-documented resolution of reconciling items.
• Perform month-over-month variance analysis and clearly communicate key drivers to leadership.
• Enforce the close calendar while maintaining strong documentation and internal control discipline.
• Act as a primary point of contact for audit support, including PBCs, schedules, and explanations.

Process Ownership & Continuous Improvement

• Take ownership of close-related processes and deliverables—this role is expected to run things, not wait for direction.
• Improve consistency, accuracy, and timeliness of reconciliations and reporting.
• Identify process gaps, propose pragmatic solutions, and implement repeatable improvements.
• Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, RevOps, and Business Sys to resolve data issues and improve reporting reliability.
• Help mature the accounting function as the company scales through acquisitions.

Systems & Data

• Work confidently in ERP and finance systems (NetSuite experience strongly preferred).
• Partner with teams using Salesforce and related systems to ensure accurate financial inputs.
• Leverage technology—including AI tools where appropriate—to accelerate analysis and documentation, while maintaining strong controls and validation.

AI & Technology Expectations 

• Use AI tools every day to increase speed and quality across recurring accounting work (e.g., variance explanations, reconciliation support, documentation, issue triage, process checklists).

• Apply appropriate controls: AI can draft/summarize/spot anomalies, but you validate outputs against source-of-truth systems and maintain audit-ready support.

M&A Integration Support (Secondary / Trained)

• Support onboarding of acquired businesses into standard close and reconciliation processes.
• Assist with trial balance mapping, process standardization, and close readiness using established templates.
• Participate in integration project meetings and help track accounting deliverables.
• Over time, develop confidence operating within a repeatable integration playbook.

People Leadership

• Manage and develop at least one direct report.
• Set priorities, review work for quality and completeness, and coach on close discipline.
• Build accountability, predictability, and pride of ownership within the team.
