Associate Director, Technical Accounting

About The Opportunity

We're a high-growth, multi-brand consumer company that has grown quickly through acquisition, and we're building toward the financial reporting maturity of a public company. We're looking for an Associate Director of Technical Accounting and External Financial Reporting to be our go-to expert on complex accounting questions and help bring our external financial statements to life.

The Impact You Will Make

• Technical Accounting:
  • Research and document accounting conclusions on complex and interesting transactions in clear, audit-ready memos.
  • Over time you'll touch a wide range of areas, including:
  • Debt and convertible instruments
  • PREFERRED stock across multiple series
  • Share-based compensation (RSUs and stock options)
  • Lessor/lessee accounting for leases across a multi-entity portfolio
  • Business combinations and purchase accounting
  • Revenue recognition
• External Financial Reporting:
  • Help prepare our annual and interim financial statements and footnote disclosures, including quarterly statements in a public-company style.
  • Build and maintain our disclosure framework, including footnote rollforwards (leases, share-based comp, debt, equity).
  • Prepare supporting workpapers and tie-out binders that connect our disclosures back to source systems.
  • Help manage the close calendar and disclosure checklist.
• Cross-Functional Partner:
  • Partner with our external auditors through the audit and review process.
  • Work with Legal and Corporate Development on how we structure transactions and the accounting behind financings and acquisitions.
  • Collaborate with Equity Administration and our cap table systems to keep share-based comp and equity data accurate.
  • Help us build scalable processes, controls, and documentation as we mature toward public-company readiness.

What You Bring To The Table

• CPA/Roughly 7+ years of accounting experience, ideally a blend of Big 4 and industry
• Solid technical accounting background across the areas above, and someone who enjoys writing memos
• Experience preparing external financial statements and footnotes; SEC reporting (10-K/10-Q) experience is a plus
• Comfort with complex capital structures (preferred series, SAFEs, warrants, convertible debt)
• Experience with high-volume share-based comp
• Strong Excel and systems skills; equity administration systems experience is a nice-to-have
• Someone who enjoys a fast-paced, growing environment and can work independently
