About D-Link North America:
D-Link is a global leader in networking and connectivity solutions. As the North American division of our Taiwan-based headquarters, we serve both U.S. and Canadian markets through our offices in Irvine, California and Laird, Ontario.

This position is fully on-site in our Irvine, CA office. You’ll manage a small bi-national team and work closely with executive leadership. The path for this role leads to Controller and potentially Chief Financial Officer (CFO), but you must first prove that you can roll up your sleeves and own the work.

- Review and file federal, state, and Canadian tax documents.

- Prepare budgets, forecasts, and strategic reports for senior management.
- Support intercompany transactions and reporting to Taiwan HQ.
- Serve as the first point of contact for audits and banking relationships.
- Maintain and improve internal controls and accounting systems.
Who You Are:

- You take pride in your accounting craft and can train, guide, and do.
- You enjoy working directly with your team and aren’t afraid to dive into the ledger.
- You are reliable, accountable, and focused on results.
- You value precision, structure, and financial integrity.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
- 5–7 years of relevant accounting experience, ideally in a multi-entity or international environment.
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and Canadian standards.
- Experience handling full-cycle accounting duties (you’ve done the books).
- Proven experience managing or supporting small accounting teams.
- Fluent in English; must be a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder with valid work certification.
- Proficient in Excel and general ledger systems (e.g., NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage).
- Strong documentation, organization, and communication skills.
Preferred (Not Required):
- CPA or CMA certification.
- Experience with Canadian tax, payroll, and compliance.
- Mandarin language skills (useful for communication with HQ).
- Experience in ERP system migrations or integrations.
- Prior experience in a distribution, hardware, or electronics company.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive salary ranging from $80,000 to $110,000 annually
- Eligible for an annual performance-based bonus
- 401(k) with employer match
- Comprehensive health, vision, dental coverage
- Paid holidays and PTO
- Long-term career path toward Controller → CFO
Important Notes:
- This role is on-site only in Irvine, CA.
- No remote work and no relocation assistance is provided.
- This is a hands-on operational role, not just strategic oversight.
- Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. — we do not sponsor work visas.
To Apply:
