Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Taylor White is recruiting for a senior accounting leadership opportunity with a private-equity-owned, acquisition-driven organization. The Accounting Manager/Senior Manager will oversee audit liaison activities, M&A integration accounting, process and systems development, and team building in a highly autonomous and evolving environment.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a key liaison with external auditors — an active audit is currently underway and your ability to engage confidently and manage this relationship is critical from day one
- Own M&A integration accounting as the company continues to grow through acquisition — including ASC 805 purchase accounting, opening balance sheet work, and post-close integration activities
- Help design and scale accounting processes, policies, and systems as the organization matures out of a less structured finance function
- Assist with building out a team — this role is expected to have three to five direct reports relatively quickly as the organizational structure solidifies
- Operate as a highly autonomous contributor reporting to a senior finance leader who values independent judgment and proactive problem-solving over frequent check-ins
- Navigate organizational ambiguity with composure — the structure is still evolving and comfort with "going along for the ride" while things get sorted out is genuinely important here
Skills
- • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA required
- • A mix of public accounting and industry experience is required — candidates coming exclusively from public or exclusively from industry will not be considered; any firm size or tier on the public side is welcome
- • 3+ years in a leadership or management capacity with experience building or developing a team
- • Highly autonomous work style — comfortable operating without significant structure or oversight in a fully remote environment
- • Adaptable, even-keeled personality with the resilience to thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous, PE-backed environment
- • Motivated by career growth and upward mobility — the scope of this role is designed to expand as the organization grows
- • M&A and technical accounting experience — ASC 805 purchase accounting, integration work, and external auditor liaison experience are strongly preferred
- • PE-backed company experience — candidates who have only worked in stable, non-PE environments may find the pace and ambiguity of this organization a difficult adjustment
Benefits
- True autonomy in a fully remote role
- A clear and meaningful growth path — you will build out a team, expand your scope, and grow alongside a company that is actively acquiring and scaling.
- Rare M&A exposure at a senior level — integration accounting, purchase accounting, and auditor liaison work are core to the role, not occasional extras.
- Near-zero employee-only premium cost
- Approximately four weeks of PTO at this level
