• Own the general ledger, close, and financial statements across entities, including intercompany eliminations and consolidation.
• Lead ERP implementation as the in-house business owner, partnering with an implementation consultant.
• Establish scalable accounting processes, policies, and controls as the business transitions from outsourced bookkeeping to an internal finance function.
Qualifications and Experience:
• CPA with 7–12 years of accounting experience, including public accounting; financial services sector preferred.
• At least one company-side audit cycle and multi-entity accounting experience.
• Strong Excel skills and ability to work with large, messy, or incomplete data sets.
About the Role:
• This is a build-and-operate role for someone who wants ownership, not a seat in a large hierarchy.
• You will implement guidance from external CPA and tax firms and own the numbers operationally.
• You will not be expected to be the technical-accounting expert of last resort.
