Responsibilities

- Oversee and develop one direct report in a senior accountant / accounting specialist capacity
- Support required registrations, compliance-related finance administration, and other operational finance needs as they arise
- Build and improve financial reporting packages so leadership has more time to review results, identify insights, and make decisions
- Support monthly variance analysis, fluctuation analysis, forecasts, and longer-term planning exercises
- Help prepare the operational finance inputs needed for board reporting, annual budgeting, and sponsor-backed reporting expectations
- Partner closely with the finance leader on lender-facing data preparation if and when the company moves into lender relationships
- Translate accurate accounting outputs into useful finance insights for a scaling professional services and SaaS-adjacent business
- Assess the current finance and accounting tech stack and help determine what should be automated, upgraded, or replaced over time
- Improve capacity in the controller function through better processes and tools rather than simply adding headcount
- Identify opportunities to automate month-end close, reconciliations, AP workflows, reporting packages, and recurring data pulls
- Support future ERP, accounting system, forecasting tool, or related finance systems implementation work
- Help fold in accounting operations for a recently acquired business line currently relying on part-time bookkeeping support

- Support acquisition-related accounting integration work such as GL alignment, reporting consistency, data cleanup, and operating cadence
Skills

- Comfortable being the person accountable for the GL, close, reporting accuracy, and accounting process discipline
- Meaningful exposure to FP&A, forecasting, variance analysis, budgeting, or board reporting, even if core strength is still accounting
- Experience working in a sponsor-backed, PE-backed, VC-backed, or similarly high-accountability environment where speed, reporting quality, and leadership visibility matter
- Experience with professional services, project-based accounting, or other operationally complex revenue models
- Ability to support a business that also has subscription or SaaS-style revenue, even if project-based accounting has been the more complex part of background
- Participation in acquisition integration work before or strong adjacent experience that shows ability to quickly organize new entities, business lines, systems, and reporting flows
- Comfortable working directly with senior finance leadership and being a reliable leverage point for better reporting, analysis, and operating cadence
- Hands-on, fast, precise, and willing to improve the process while still doing the underlying accounting work well
- ERP implementation, accounting system implementation, forecasting tool implementation, or finance systems modernization experience
- Automation experience across close, reconciliations, AP, reporting, or recurring finance workflows
- Experience preparing data for lenders, debt reporting, covenant tracking, or quarterly lender packages
- GovCon accounting exposure, including Unanet, Deltek Costpoint, DCAA-adjacent reporting, project accounting, or federal contractor finance environments
- Experience in a multi-service-line business with a mix of project-based, fixed-price, managed services, and subscription-style revenue
- Audit support experience in a sponsor-backed or acquisition-oriented environment
