VP of Accounting + Be a Leader + Omaha
If you’re a technically elite accounting leader who still loves rolling up your sleeves — and you want a true seat at the executive table — this could be the kind of role that defines the next chapter of your career. We’re partnering with a high-growth, nationally expanding organization that is looking for a VP of Accounting to lead their team. This is a cross-functional leadership opportunity where finance connects directly to operations, supply chain, and long-term strategy. You’ll report directly to the CFO, serve on the Executive Team, and help shape the company’s future.
What You’ll Own
This role carries broad enterprise responsibility, including:
- Leading the full accounting function
- Oversight of Treasury
- Procurement and distribution center leadership
- Tax oversight in partnership with external advisors
- Internal controls and compliance, SOX experience strongly preferred
- Executive-level financial reporting and technical accounting matters
- Driving enhancements within Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Strengthening close timelines, data integrity, and cross-functional visibility
- Partnering closely with FP&A to connect cash flow, forecasting, and operational strategy
The Leader They’re Looking For
This organization needs more than technical brilliance — they need presence, perspective, and above all, people leadership.
Must-Haves:
- CPA required
- Deep expertise in US GAAP
- Strong technical accounting research background
- Executive-level leadership over accounting (treasury and procurement oversight is a strong plus)
- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, growth-oriented company
Preferred:
- Big 4 foundation + industry progression
- Pre-IPO exposure
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 experience
- SOX framework experience
- Prior experience in a public company preferred
Leadership Expectations
This team is looking for a confident but grounded executive — someone who:
- Leads with curiosity, not ego
- Listens first, then acts
- Knows when to be strategic and when to jump into the details
- Brings calm clarity in high-growth moments
- Builds strong partnerships across operations, supply chain, IT, and finance
- Focuses on empowering teams with the resources they need to succeed
Why This Role Stands Out
- True Executive Team visibility and influence
- Opportunity to modernize systems and financial infrastructure
- Exposure to private equity ownership and enterprise-level strategy
- High-growth environment with meaningful operational complexity
- The ability to shape culture, build leadership bench strength, and drive long-term value
