Job description

Join Us as Our Next Transformational Accounting Leader!

Are you a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) ready to move beyond traditional accounting and take a leading role in shaping a company's future? We are searching for a dynamic, forward-thinking leader to join our team as a strategic partner to our CFO. This isn't just a leadership position; it's a chance to re-engineer processes, drive improvements, and elevate our entire financial function to a best-in-class standard.

If you have a strong foundation in public accounting and audit, and a passion for strengthening operational backbones to enable scalable growth, we want to talk to you. You will play a critical role in executive-level decision-making and lead the charge in building a world-class financial infrastructure. This opportunity is great preparation for a future CFO!

Key Responsibilities You Will Own :

  • Lead a World-Class Close Process : Redesign and drive a monthly financial close process that is precise, timely, and scalable. You will own all balance sheet reconciliations and partner with cross-functional leaders to ensure data integrity.
  • Champion Financial Compliance & Audit Readiness : Maintain year-round audit readiness, ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local tax requirements, and lead coordination with external auditors.
  • Enhance Risk Management & Controls : Apply audit-derived best practices to assess financial risks, design mitigation strategies, and implement internal controls to protect company assets.
  • Deliver Strategic Financial Insights : Go beyond reporting by translating financial data into actionable insights for the executive team. You will ensure strict adherence to U.S. GAAP and other applicable standards.
  • Oversee Payroll & Sales Compensation : Ensure accurate and timely payroll and sales incentive calculations, and collaborate with Sales and HR to refine compensation plans that drive performance.
  • Drive Process Improvement : Identify, design, and implement process improvements across all finance activities. You will champion automation, standardization, and a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Serve as a Strategic Partner : Act as a trusted advisor to the CFO, providing forward-looking financial analysis and recommendations to inform strategic decisions.
  • Manage Cash Flow & Capital Planning : Oversee short- and long-term cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning, and partner with the CFO on capital structure management.

What We're Looking For :

  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Strong public accounting background (audit side) is preferred; experience with a Big 4 or large regional firm is ideal.
  • A proven track record as a Controller or senior finance leader in a growth-oriented company.
  • Demonstrated success in building or overhauling accounting processes for scalability.
  • Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and compliance requirements.
  • Experience with ERP / accounting software implementation or optimization. Bonus points for experience with Microsoft Dynamics (Business Central), Paylocity, or Ramp.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and change management skills.
  • The ability to operate as a strategic business partner, connecting financial outcomes to key business decisions.
  • Benefits include : Comprehensive Benefit package (Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K & Life Insurance), Paid travel expenses, Kreg phone & laptop, Vacation, Personal & Sick time

    Why Join Us?

    This is a unique opportunity to directly partner with a forward-thinking CFO and executive leadership team. You won't just manage the numbers; you'll have a seat at the table for strategic discussions that will shape our growth trajectory. We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package and a chance to make a measurable, lasting impact on our company's success.
