Job description

Director of Finance and Accounting

Department: Finance

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Remote

Reporting To: Ron Scheuman

Compensation: $130,000 - $160,000 / year

Description

Doppio Group, a privately held, profitable, growing IT services firm, is seeking a Director of Finance & Accounting to own accounting and build the finance function. Reporting to the COO, this role operates as a strategic partner to the CEO and COO while remaining deeply hands-on in day-to-day accounting and financial operations.

This is a build role, not a layer. You will be the point person for accounting and finance, taking full ownership of the function while evolving it from strong accounting operations into a more forward-looking finance capability.

You’ll work across a mix of revenue models including project-based consulting, managed services, and milestone-driven delivery work. We require someone who understands how revenue, billing, and cash flow actually behave in a professional services environment, not just how they’re reported.

The right person enjoys operating in a lean environment where you are both the owner and the doer who is comfortable closing the books, managing invoicing and payroll, and at the same time building forecasts, improving visibility, and helping leadership make better decisions.

In this role, you will manage full-cycle accounting and finance for our global operations (US, Canada, and India). You will collaborate with our fractional CFO, manage our Senior Accountant/Financial Analyst, and have dotted line leadership of our accounting operations person in India. This role encompasses the entirety of the accounting and finance function and you will assume increasingly strategic responsibilities as you develop the finance function.

This role can be held remotely in the United States with preference given to candidates in the greater Nashville or Chicago areas where our executives sit.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the general ledger, month-end close process, and financial reporting across all entities (US, Canada, India)


• Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, and billing processes tied to project-based consulting work and managed services


• Oversee twice-monthly payroll processing for US and Canada employees and contractors, including benefits administration (401k, RRSP, health insurance)


• Handle revenue recognition, accruals, and journal entries for both professional services delivery and managed services revenue models.


• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual consolidated financial statements; support external audit and tax preparation processes for the US and Canadian entities.


• Manage banking relationships, monitor cash flow, oversight of cash investments, and ensure proper separation of duties over banking activities


• Manage payroll for US and Canadian personnel.

• Support board-level financial reporting: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statements, and executive dashboards


• Develop and maintain annual operating budgets; create forecasts and variance analysis


• Build financial models and analysis by client, service line, and project margin to support decision-making


• Manage monthly revenue forecasting and cash flow projections


• Partner with CEO and COO on financial strategy, growth planning, and business performance analysis

• Review and modernize accounting systems; evaluate consolidating separate US/Canada QuickBooks instances into enterprise solution


• Assess payroll systems; explore consolidation into single multi-currency platform.


• Strengthen internal controls, financial policies, and approval workflows


• Improve invoicing processes, templates, and automation where possible


• Build scalable financial reporting infrastructure and dashboards as the company grows

• Manage tax compliance including quarterly filings, annual returns, and coordination with external tax advisors


• Navigate S-Corp shareholder/tax structure complexity; participate in the evaluation of potential conversion to C-Corp


• Support employee benefit renewals and business insurance renewals from financial and risk mitigation perspective


• Contribute to cybersecurity and risk management initiatives


• Contribute to contract review and governance such as:


• Support legal document review (e.g client contract language, partner and vendor agreements, W-9s) ensuring correct references to legal entities, etc.


• Ensure that MSAs are signed before SOWs,


• Ensure that fully executed agreements are properly stored

• Serve as primary point of contact for employee payroll, benefits, and finance questions


• Collaborate with project managers on billing, invoicing, and customer questions


• Work closely with fractional CFO and external advisors (tax accountants, auditors, legal counsel)

What You Bring

• 7+ years of hands-on accounting and finance experience in professional services which may include IT Services, Marketing agency, Staffing, Consulting, etc.


• Demonstrated ability to work in lean, fast-paced environments where you wear multiple hats. Our revenue is <$50M currently and we hope you have experience in that type of growing environment


• FP&A experience including budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling


• Strong understanding of GAAP and revenue recognition (ASC 606) in project-based and recurring revenue environments


• Experience owning month-end close, financial reporting, and core accounting processes


• Advanced Excel skills (e.g pivot tables, formulas, VBA/Power Query for modeling)


• Experience with accounting systems (QuickBooks or similar)


• Excellent communication skills and ability to translate financial information for non-finance stakeholders

• Experience with global operations, multi-entity structures, or managing accounting across multiple geographies


• Accounting degree, CPA preferred but not required


• Exposure to risk management, contract review, or legal governance


• Experience at a startup or growth-stage company where you've helped scale finance operations


• Familiarity with S-Corp to C-Corp conversions, corporate structure decisions, or equity matters


• Experience implementing or migrating to new accounting, payroll, or ERP systems
