Job description

We are partnering with a privately held organization that is experiencing significant growth and continuing to invest in its people, technology, and financial infrastructure. With an established recurring-revenue business model and expanding operations, the company is entering an exciting phase that creates an opportunity for an accounting professional to make a meaningful impact.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong, hands-on accounting leader who is ready to take the next step in their career. Reporting directly to the CFO, the Director of Accounting will have significant ownership of the accounting function, visibility across the business, and the ability to influence how financial processes and reporting capabilities evolve.

Unlike opportunities within larger, more layered organizations, this position offers direct access to executive leadership, the autonomy to drive improvements, and the opportunity to help build a scalable accounting function.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys both the technical and operational sides of accounting, takes initiative, and is excited about the opportunity to grow into broader controllership responsibilities as the business continues to expand.

This is a hybrid role with occasional onsite days required, must be local to the Greater Detroit Area to be considered
