Job summary

Directive Consulting is seeking a senior finance leader to own the monthly close, manage GAAP revenue recognition, and drive FP&A across multiple entities and currencies. You will streamline accounting processes, build predictive models, and present insights to leadership to guide pricing, staffing, and growth decisions.

The role blends accounting hands-on work with strategic analysis, and requires strong modeling skills, ERP experience, and cross-border financial stewardship.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in accounting and/or FP&A, ideally with experience in both.
• Hands-on month-end close ownership under GAAP, including revenue recognition for service businesses.
• Strong modeling skills in Excel/Google Sheets (SUMIFS, lookups, and driver-based models).
• Experience in professional services, agencies, or SaaS, where margin is driven by people and time.
• Familiarity with NetSuite (or similar ERP) and time-tracking tools like Harvest a plus.
• Strong English communication skills
• Multi-entity or multi-currency accounting experience.
• Experience building client or project profitability reporting.
• Comfort using AI tools to speed up analysis and reporting.

Responsibilities

• Own the month-end close: revenue recognition, accruals, prepaids, reconciliations, and a close calendar that consistently hits its deadline.
• Manage recurring, project, and variable (percent-of-spend / programmatic) revenue, including mid-month starts, churn, offering swaps, and prorations.
• Manage our accountant and oversee AP, AR, payroll entries, and multi-country (US, Canada, Mexico, UK) compliance.
• Maintain clean, documented, audit-ready books, supported by strong internal controls and reconciliations.
• Oversee billing accuracy and collections in partnership with account teams.
• FP&A (~25%): Maintain monthly client and divisional P&Ls, allocating staff costs from time-tracking data, direct COGS, and overhead.
• Track performance against our gross margin and EBITDA targets.
• Flag clients, service lines, and roles that drift, and explain why.
• Assist Head of Finance with the budget, rolling forecast, and variance analysis.
• Present monthly results with a clear point of view, not just a data dump.
• Support pricing and capacity planning: model new-client economics, hiring timing, and utilization.
• Report on revenue KPIs: NRR, churn, expansion, and revenue per head.
• Automate and improve reporting so the team spends less time assembling data and more time analyzing it.
