Job description

Accounting Manager – PE-Backed, High-Growth Platform (Boston | Hybrid)

We’re partnering with a private equity–backed operating platform that’s scaling rapidly through acquisitions and building a centralized accounting function to support continued growth.

This role is ideal for someone who started their career in public accounting (Big 4 preferred) and has since moved into the private sector, gaining hands‑on experience in fast‑paced, evolving environments.

What you’ll do:

• Own and run the month‑end close process across multiple operating entities
• Support and clean up accounting for newly acquired businesses (cash → accrual, process standardization, integrations)
• Review journal entries, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Partner closely with the Controller and work directly with the CFO
• Assist with inventory, cost of sales, and margin analysis
• Help build scalable processes as the company continues to grow through acquisitions

What we’re looking for:

• Background in public accounting (Big 4 strongly preferred)
• Experience in a private, PE‑backed, or acquisitive environment
• Strong month‑end close ownership and technical accounting foundation
• Exposure to inventory and/or operational accounting environments
• Leadership mindset — currently managing or ready to step into people/process leadership
• Comfortable in fast‑moving, “build as you go” settings

The opportunity:

• High‑visibility role with direct access to senior leadership
• Meaningful acquisition exposure and career growth runway
• Competitive base salary, bonus eligibility, and strong benefits

This is not a maintenance role — it’s an opportunity to help build, scale, and lead within a growing platform.
