Are you a seasoned accounting leader ready to own the full close, strengthen controls, and build a high-performing team? This is an opportunity to join a growing organization where you’ll partner closely with executive leadership, lead core accounting operations, and help scale processes in a dynamic, results-driven environment.

Who you are:

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
  • CPA required; preference for public accounting foundation
  • 8 years of progressive accounting experience, including leading and mentoring teams
  • Comprehensive understanding of accounting standards, financial reporting requirements, and control environments
  • Demonstrated success in owning audit processes and collaborating with external audit and tax partners
  • Leader who thrives in fast-moving organizations and can shift seamlessly between big-picture direction and detailed execution


What you’ll do:

  • Own and enhance the financial close and reporting process, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and insight
  • Lead, develop, and elevate the accounting team with a focus on execution, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Enhance operational and performance analysis to deliver meaningful insights that inform business decisions
  • Maintain strong accounting governance, including policies, internal controls, and tax-related oversight
  • Partner closely with the CFO and business leaders to improve forecasting, systems, operational reviews, and overall decision support
  • Play a key role in evolving operational reviews and improving how finance partners with the business
  • Act as a proactive problem solver who makes decisions, drives outcomes, and adds value beyond maintaining the status quo


Why work here:

  • Grow your career: step into a broader leadership capacity over time, with the intention of gradually transitioning into CFO level responsibilities
