PSG is partnering with a fast-growing, innovative company looking to bring on a standout Accounting Manager to help scale and elevate the accounting function. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to go beyond the day-to-day — you’ll have real ownership, visibility with leadership, and the opportunity to build smarter, more efficient processes in a dynamic, tech-forward environment.


What You’ll Own:

  • Lead the close process (monthly, quarterly, annual) with a focus on speed, accuracy, and continuous improvement
  • Oversee core accounting operations, including AP, AR, commissions, and sales tax
  • Ensure accurate, timely financial reporting and strong balance sheet integrity
  • Review reconciliations, investigate variances, and drive resolution quickly
  • Partner with leadership to enhance internal controls, policies, and reporting frameworks
  • Identify opportunities to automate, streamline, and scale processes
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 5, building a high-performing and engaged group
  • Support audits and maintain compliance with GAAP


What You Bring:

  • 5 years of progressive accounting experience, including team leadership
  • Strong understanding of GAAP and core accounting principles
  • Experience in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • A hands-on, solution-oriented mindset — able to both lead and execute
  • Systems-savvy with experience working in modern ERP environments (NetSuite a plus)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to partner cross-functionally


Why This Role:

  • High visibility and direct impact on a growing business
  • Opportunity to build, improve, and scale — not just maintain
  • Collaborative, forward-thinking team that values new ideas
  • A modern environment where technology and efficiency are prioritized
