  • Manage the global close and consolidation process, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and adherence to audit standards.
  • Serve as the key leader for M&A integration efforts, overseeing accounting diligence, post-acquisition consolidation, and financial system alignment.

  • Collaborate with private equity sponsors, auditors, and the Audit Committee to ensure compliance, transparency, and continuous improvement in reporting and controls.
  • Lead and mentor a geographically distributed team across the U.S. and international locations, fostering a culture of accountability and professional growth.

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; MBA or Master's degree preferred.
  • 12+ years of progressive accounting and controllership experience, with at least 5 years in a global corporate environment.
  • Proven background in both public accounting (Big 4 or Top 10) and private industry preferred.
  • Deep expertise in operational accounting, technical accounting, and financial reporting (U.S. GAAP, IFRS, ASC 606).
  • Demonstrated success leading global finance teams and managing multi-entity, multi-currency consolidations.
  • Strong understanding of M&A transactions and integration within global organizations.
  • SAP proficiency required ; experience driving ERP implementations and process transformations strongly preferred.
  • Industry experience within industrial services, engineering, manufacturing, construction, or environmental sectors preferred. (Financial services backgrounds will not be considered.)
  • Prior experience in a PE-backed portfolio company strongly desired.
  • Comfortable with quarterly travel to other US Based offices.

    • Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Hands-on, “roll-up-the-sleeves” executive who can both build and lead—balancing strategic vision with executional excellence.
  • Brings a Big 4 mindset of rigor, precision, and governance, combined with the agility needed for a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
  • A global finance leader with the ability to influence across cultures, functions, and time zones.
