Director Of Accounting

The Director of Accounting serves as a key financial leader, ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the financial statements for their respective business areas. This role oversees complex month-end close processes, maintains a rigorous control environment, and acts as a strategic partner to finance and business leaders.

The Impact You Will Make

• Leadership and Corporate Close Management:
  • Lead and optimize the monthly, quarterly, and year-end corporate financial close for assigned business units, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting under US GAAP.
  • Manage, mentor, and scale a high‑performing corporate accounting team, fostering professional growth and operational excellence.
• Process & Controls:
  • Strengthen Internal Controls: Own, maintain, and strengthen the SOX‑compliant internal control environment over corporate accounting and related financial reporting workflows.
  • Engineering & Product Advisory: Partner proactively with Engineering and Product teams during the design phase of new products and platform features to establish clear, scalable accounting and data requirements.
• Payroll Accounting and Automation:
  • Oversee consolidated payroll accounting operations, ensuring precise booking of labor expenses, tax accruals, benefits, and equity‑based compensation.
  • Drive strategic efficiency projects, particularly automation between HRIS/payroll platforms (e.g., Workday) and the ERP system and automating payroll allocations in the ERP system.
• Software, SaaS, & Capitalization (ASC 350‑40):
  • Oversee the financial lifecycle of the company's technology stack, managing accounting for corporate SaaS subscriptions, prepayments, and complex vendor contracts.
  • Review the tracking and compliance for internal‑use software capitalization (ASC 350‑40), partnering with Engineering and Product teams to accurately capture development hours.
• Professional Services and Vendor Spend:
  • Govern accounting for professional services spend, including legal, consulting, recruiting, and advisory fees.
  • Partner with key stakeholders to define and implement strict controls around Statements of Work, milestones, and trailing vendor invoices, ensuring precise, data‑driven accruals and preventing margin leakage.
  • Drive strategic efficiency initiatives, specifically automating vendor accruals by leveraging direct reporting and data integrations from procurement platforms.
• Intercompany & Multi‑Entity Consolidation:
  • Own the end‑to‑end intercompany accounting process, including transfer pricing execution, and cross‑entity billing.
  • Enforce rigorous intercompany elimination policies to guarantee seamless monthly consolidations across multiple operating subsidiaries and legal entities.

What You Bring to the Table

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• CPA certification required.
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience with 4+ years in leadership.
• Experience in high‑growth environments, corporate integration, or public accounting is highly valued.
• Deep understanding of US GAAP, corporate consolidations, and SOX.
• Strong grasp of payroll mechanics, vendor accruals, and capitalized software guidelines.
• High level of competency dealing with large data sets, query tools, and automation software.
• Hands‑on experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite), close management software (e.g., FloQast), procurement platforms (e.g., ZIP) and forecast and reporting software (e.g., Anaplan).
• Familiarity with automated data transfers between HRIS, procurement platforms, and ERPs.

Our hybrid model requires 3 days a week in the office. That said, many team members choose to come in more often to take advantage of in‑person collaboration and connection. You're welcome and encouraged to be in the office up to 5 days a week if it works for you.
