• Able to define what good looks like in an accounting function, with experience improving close timelines and control discipline.
• A strong people leader who communicates clearly and partners effectively across Finance and business operations.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in accounting operations, controllership, or corporate accounting, including leadership in high-growth or multinational environments.

• CPA and experience in complex product-based industries are strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead and scale accounting operations across AP, AR, payroll accounting, fixed assets, accruals, reconciliations, and close operations to support accuracy, discipline, and growth.
• Own and improve the monthly and quarterly close process, driving stronger accountability, documentation, and cycle-time improvements.
• Strengthen internal controls, documentation, segregation of duties, and system-based controls while partnering with Finance Systems and IT to improve ERP processes, automation, integrations, and reporting.
• Build and develop a high-performing accounting operations organization, support global accounting complexity across entities and jurisdictions, and manage key relationships with auditors, consultants, and outsourced partners.

What You Will Learn

• How to build accounting processes that scale from startup-stage operations to enterprise-grade infrastructure.
• How global entity operations, inter-company processes, foreign currency activity, statutory reporting support, and international accounting complexity come together in practice.
• How accounting operations connect directly to broader business execution in a product-based technology company, including procurement, supply chain, leases, capital equipment, payroll, equity, R&D, and commercial operations.
