Job description

Job Description :

We are seeking a strategic and collaborative Head of Accounting to lead the accounting function for our Alaska Fuels Distribution Business Unit.

  • Build and mentor a high-performing accounting team with a focus on cross-functional engagement and continuous improvement.
  • Foster a culture of respect, transparency, and proactive problem-solving.
  • Lead, coach and re-assign work between 5 (+) senior accountants (Responsible for BU GL accounting; AR / AP subledgers performed by SSC.)
  • Build a future-ready accounting organization that balances stability with agility - leading through ambiguity, fostering accountability, and developing successors who understand both the numbers and the business behind them.
  • Serve as a key thought partner to the BU CVP pf Finance and Operations in shaping the financial operating model and governance structure.
  • Proven track record of leading and developing accounting teams across multiple locations, fostering strong collaboration and accountability in hybrid and remote environments.
  • Skilled at building rapport and trusted relationships with operations and field teams, ensuring alignment between financial integrity and business execution.

ERP Integration & Process Modernization

  • Lead the accounting workstream for the 'Vertrax' implementation and ensure seamless integration with Oracle Fusion.
  • Redesign accounting workflows to reduce manual effort and improve data integrity (from an operating system 'Ascend' to 'Vertrax')
  • Drive the end-to-end accounting and financial integration between Vertrax (operating system) and Oracle Fusion (ERP), ensuring real-time financial visibility and data integrity across the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles.
  • Define and enforce standardized accounting close procedures across systems and teams, ensuring seamless data flow and reconciliation between operational (Vertrax / Ascend) and financial (Oracle) environments.
  • Implement automated checks and reports to detect data mismatches, pricing errors, and clearing imbalances early in the cycle.
  • Partner with IT and Operations to align system capabilities with business needs.

    • Financial Reporting & Compliance

  • Accountable for end-to-end month-end and year-end close governance, including the integrity of subledger interfaces between Ascend, Vertrax, and Oracle Fusion.
  • Oversee pricing validations, clearing account reconciliations, reserve policies (bad debt, obsolete inventory), and allocation entries (linehaul, marine, admin etc.).
  • Ensure all closing activities are performed accurately and on time, with appropriate evidence, approvals, and documentation aligned to audit standards.
  • Ensure compliance with US GAAP and internal controls.
  • Support external audits and reporting requirements tied to debt agreements and regulatory obligations.

    • Tax Oversight & Compliance

  • Serve as the primary liaison between the BU and Corporate Tax for state and federal tax matters.
  • Ensure accurate and timely preparation of apportionment data for state income tax filings, coordinating with external advisors (e.g., Deloitte).
  • Oversee book-to-tax reconciliations, clearing accounts, and documentation of tax-sensitive transactions.
  • Support compliance with excise tax filings, Form 637, and other fuel-related tax obligations.
  • Collaborate with Corporate Tax on legal entity structuring, nexus reviews, and audit responses.
  • Maintain visibility into tax-related risks and ensure alignment with accounting processes and ERP systems (Vertrax and Oracle Fusion).

    • Operational Partnership

  • Act as a strategic partner to Operations, Sales, and Finance leadership.
  • Provide clear, actionable financial insights to support decision-making.
  • Translate complex accounting concepts into business-relevant language.

    • Forecasting & Analysis

  • Collaborate with FP&A and business leaders to support forecasting and budgeting processes.
  • Ensure transparency in cost allocations, clearing accounts, and freight rate structures.
  • Drive variance analysis and communicate results with clarity and context.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership roles.
  • Experience in fuel distribution, logistics, or asset-heavy industries preferred.
  • Proven success in ERP implementations (Vertrax, Oracle Fusion, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of US GAAP and internal control frameworks.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills.

    • Key Deliverables next 12 months :

  • Lead the end-to-end accounting implementation of Vertrax, ensuring seamless integration with Oracle Fusion and a stable transition from Ascend.
  • Stabilize and modernize accounting operations post go-live - securing process continuity while embedding stronger controls, automation, and data accuracy.
  • Simplify and standardize core accounting processes (e.g., revenue recognition, inventory, clearing, reserves) to reduce manual effort, shorten close cycle times, and improve visibility.
  • Build cross-functional alignment with Operations, IT, and Shared Services (BOSCOE team) to ensure system configuration reflects business realities and supports decision-making.
  • Transform the accounting culture from siloed and reactive to collaborative, transparent, and accountable - fostering trust, role clarity, and strong business partnership.
  • Deliver measurable improvements in process efficiency, close cycle time, audit readiness, and data reliability, supported by a unified team mindset and system-enabled workflows.
