We are looking for a Director of Accounting to join our Finance team!
About the Role
You will own day-to-day accounting operations, including the close, technical accounting, and audit readiness. You will lead a team of 9 (3 direct reports) and play a central role in integrating systems and future acquisitions. This is a high-impact role at a dynamic, fast-paced company.

- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close: set the calendar and drive deadlines across cross-functional teams.
- Oversee GL, A/P, and revenue accounting, including account reconciliations and journal entry review.
- Review revenue recognition under ASC 606, including complex contracts, multiple-element arrangements, and deferred revenue.
- Own equity accounting, including stock-based compensation and cap table reconciliation.
Reporting & Compliance
- Prepare and review monthly financial statements and flux analysis, and provide inputs to management reporting.
- Own regulatory, tax-support, and lender/bank covenant compliance reporting.
- Partner with external auditors to deliver clean audits, including PBC lists, technical memos, and timely issue resolution.
Controls, Policy & Process
- Design, document, and maintain accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.
- Identify and lead process improvements and automation (e.g., close tooling, NetSuite workflows, reconciliation and reporting automation) with measurable outcomes.
- Leverage AI tools such as Claude to automate manual accounting work (e.g., flux commentary, reconciliations, journal entry prep, and documentation) while maintaining strong controls and review standards.
M&A Integration
- Lead accounting due diligence support and post-close integration: opening balance sheets, purchase price accounting (ASC 805), system migration, and harmonization of policies and procedures.
Leadership
- Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team; set goals, delegate authority, and build a strong bench.
- Serve as a trusted business partner to senior leadership, translating accounting issues into clear, actionable guidance.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA required.

- Hands-on experience with an ERP (NetSuite preferred) and advanced Excel skills.
- Proven track record improving close, controls, and processes.
