Job description

Corporate Tools is growing fast. Like, really fast. We operate across tech-backed services, professional services, and real estate; and behind every smart decision is great accounting.

We’re looking for an Accounting Leader who understands that accounting isn’t just about closing the books, it’s about helping the business make better decisions.

You’ll lead the accounting function for a complex and expanding organization. But more importantly, you’ll lead people. You’ll help build systems, guide strategy, and mentor a team that focuses on what actually matters, not spending three days reconciling a $3 variance like it’s the missing journal entry that finally explains the collapse of Arthur Andersen.

We believe accounting should be close to the business, not hidden in the back office. If you like solving real problems, building strong teams, and helping leadership understand the story behind the numbers, you’ll fit right in.

We’re scrappy. We’re smart. We’re hungry. And we’re humble enough to know we don’t have everything figured out yet.

That’s where you come in.

Wage:

Up to $200,000/year

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental and vision for employees
• Annual review with raise option
• 22 days Paid Time Off accrued annually, and 4 holidays
  • After 3 years, PTO increases to 29 days. Employees transition to flexible time off after 5 years with the company—not accrued, not capped, take time off when you want
  • The 4 holidays are: New Year’s Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day
• Up to 6% company matching 401(k) with no vesting period
• Quarterly allowance
  • Use to make your remote work set up more comfortable, for continuing education classes, a plant for your desk, coffee for your coworker, a massage for yourself... really, whatever
• Open concept office with friendly coworkers
• Creative environment where you can make a difference
• No dumb benefits like free dog walking on the weekends that snobby hipster places have to make you feel cool, but mathematically won't cost the company much money because you won't use it
• Trail Mix Bar --- oh yeah

Responsibilities:

• Help elevate accounting from a reporting function to a business driver
• Lead accounting efforts
• Partner with leadership to translate financial data into actionable insights
• Support strategic initiatives including acquisitions, expansion, and operational improvements

Requirements:

• Previous accounting leadership
• Proven ability to build and lead high-performing teams
• Strong systems mindset... you like improving how things work
• CPA preferred (but great experience can substitute)

There’s also a certain type of accounting brain we’re hoping to find.

The kind that opens a workbook with 32 tabs, three mysterious pivot tables, and a worksheet labeled “FINAL_v5_USE_THIS_ONE_ACTUALLY” and instead of panicking just leans back and says, “Okay… I see what happened here.”

If you’ve ever felt a weird amount of satisfaction turning over-processed, over-complicated things into a simple effective tool, or if someone has asked you about accrual accounting at a dinner party and you were able to talk to them like a human being and not like an excel spreadsheet, we are off on the right foot.
