The Role
Quilt has proven its product and its market. We're scaling across North America, and the financial infrastructure behind the business must keep pace. This is a key leadership role as we build the financial infrastructure to support our growth. As Head of Accounting, you will lead the accounting function end-to-end. You will report directly to the CFO and serve as the company's senior accounting leader. In the near term, you'll be deeply hands-on — building the processes and controls to support a high-growth hardware and software business and preparing the organization for its first financial audit.
About You
- You take initiative. You identify gaps in processes, reporting, and other areas and implement solutions before they become systemic issues.
- You communicate effectively. You can explain complex accounting concepts at a level appropriate to your audience — whether that's the CFO, the leadership team, or the broader company — and you're comfortable educating others on the business implications of accounting decisions.
- You focus on right-sizing. You build the team, processes, and systems appropriate for where the company is today - with an eye toward enabling rapid growth - and evolve them alongside the company’s needs.
- You have a strong technical foundation. You have a deep understanding of US GAAP and have experience applying it to complex inventory and hardware revenue recognition scenarios.
- You leverage technology. You keep up with emerging tools — particularly AI — and use them to eliminate manual work, accelerate research, and free up time for higher-value thinking.
- You see AI as a core part of how modern accounting gets done.
Preferred Experience & Qualifications

- Hardware/Physical Product Background: Experience with COGS and inventory accounting is essential
- System Implementation: You have led or played a primary role in a successful ERP implementation
