What if you could step into a leadership role where accounting is expected to help drive growth — not just report on it?
A rapidly scaling, acquisition-driven professional services and technology organization is seeking a Director of Accounting to help modernize and elevate its accounting operation during a critical stage of growth. This is a highly visible leadership opportunity reporting directly to the CFO, with broad exposure across executive leadership, operations and strategic initiatives.
The environment is fast-paced, collaborative and evolving. The accounting function is already substantial, but the business now needs a leader who can scale infrastructure, improve processes, strengthen reporting visibility and help integrate acquisitions efficiently as the organization continues to grow.
This is not a maintenance role. It’s a build-and-improve role for someone who enjoys creating structure, driving operational improvements and leading teams through complexity and change.
What You’ll Own
- Lead a large accounting organization supporting multiple business units and entities
- Oversee timely and accurate monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting
- Improve and scale accounting infrastructure to support continued company growth
- Strengthen internal controls, compliance and financial processes across the organization
- Drive accounting operational efficiencies by improving manual or inefficient workflows
- Lead annual audit activities and partner closely with external auditors
- Oversee treasury management, cash flow forecasting and financial planning support
- Manage accounting integration efforts tied to acquisitions and business expansion
- Support executive decision-making through stronger financial visibility and reporting
- Oversee intercompany accounting and multi-entity financial operations
- Partner cross-functionally with leadership teams across finance, operations and procurement
- Mentor and develop accounting leadership and staff across the organization
What Makes This Opportunity Different
- Direct visibility with executive leadership and strategic initiatives
- Opportunity to lead accounting through a significant growth phase
- High-impact role focused on scalability, modernization and operational transformation
- Exposure to M&A activity and post-acquisition integration work
- Ability to influence systems, processes and long-term accounting strategy
- Leadership role with meaningful team oversight and organizational impact
- Remote flexibility within the U.S.
What We’re Looking For
- CPA required
- Deep expertise in GAAP and ASC 606 revenue recognition
- Expert-level Sage Intacct experience is considered a non-negotiable requirement
- Experience leading accounting organizations in high-growth environments
- Experience helping scale accounting operations toward or beyond approximately $200M in revenue
- Strong background in financial reporting, audit, treasury and internal controls
- Experience with acquisition integration and multi-entity accounting environments
- Prior leadership experience managing sizable accounting teams
- Strong executive presence, communication skills and cross-functional partnership abilities
- Advanced understanding of accounting operations within technology, SaaS, professional services or similarly complex environments
- Experience with Contracts Module, Stampli and financial modeling tools is highly valued
The Ideal Leadership Style
The organization is looking for someone who can combine strong technical accounting depth with operational leadership and business partnership. The right person will be highly collaborative, strategic but hands-on and comfortable bringing structure to environments that are evolving quickly.
This role is especially well-suited for someone who enjoys:
- Building scalable infrastructure
- Improving accounting processes
- Leading through growth and change
- Creating operational efficiencies
- Developing teams and future leaders
- Working closely with executive leadership on strategic initiatives
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role will come from improving the scalability and efficiency of the accounting organization, enhancing financial reporting visibility, strengthening controls and helping the business successfully integrate acquisitions while continuing to support rapid growth.
This is an opportunity to make a visible impact inside a company where finance leadership has a seat at the table and accounting is viewed as a strategic function within the business.
