Job description

Direct Meds is a rapidly growing, privately held healthcare company providing technology-enabled telehealth, prescription medication, and pharmacy services across consumer and business-to-business channels. We operate a multi-entity group with significant transaction volume and continued expansion into new products and services. We're a remote-first company investing heavily in institutional-grade finance.

VP of Corporate Accounting

Remote (US) | Full-time |$200,00 -$235,000 base + profit share opportunity

Position Summary

The VP of Corporate Accounting owns group-level accounting: technical GAAP positions, multi-entity consolidation and eliminations, intercompany accounting, external audit management, accounting policy and internal controls, and shared financial infrastructure. You will report directly to the CFO and lead the corporate accounting branch, working alongside our operational accounting team, which owns entity-level books and month-end close. This is a hands-on executive role for a veteran accountant: you will set the technical and structural standards the group's financials are built on, serve as the day-to-day counterpart to our external auditors and advisors, and act as the CFO's senior delegate on accounting matters so the finance function can stay forward-looking. You will manage our Technical Accounting Manager from day one and build out the corporate accounting branch as scale justifies, including shaping how our in-house tax and treasury functions should be structured. The timing matters: we are migrating to a new ERP accounting platform with a January 1, 2027 target launch, and this role arrives in time to help drive that onboarding and to design the consolidation and intercompany processes on the new platform from the start.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the multi-entity consolidation process: set the methodology and calendar, and review and approve the consolidated financials, eliminations, and workpapers produced by the Technical Accounting Manager
• Design and run the intercompany accounting framework: intercompany agreements and charge structures, recurring intercompany entries, reconciliation and settlement discipline across the entity group, in coordination with external tax and legal advisors
• Own technical GAAP positions across the group (revenue recognition, accruals, leases, equity, business combinations), reviewing and approving memos prepared by the Technical Accounting Manager
• Manage the external audit end to end as the auditors’ primary counterpart: scoping, PBC production, technical issue resolution, and timeline ownership
• Serve as the finance lead for lender, investor, and transaction-related accounting workstreams, including quality-of-earnings and diligence support
• Build and maintain the group’s accounting policy manual and internal control framework, and drive adoption across the accounting organization
• Own shared financial infrastructure: chart of accounts governance, entity structure hygiene, and a leading role in coordinating the onboarding and implementation of our new ERP accounting platform (target launch January 1, 2027)
• Partner with the operational accounting team so group-level standards and technical positions translate into clean, repeatable entries at the entity level
• Serve as the day-to-day liaison to our external tax firm: direct their work across entity and ownership returns, get the group ahead of state sales tax and multi-state compliance, and recommend how our in-house tax function should be structured and when to hire it
• Oversee cash management practices until dedicated treasury leadership is hired into your branch
• Act as the CFO’s senior delegate on accounting matters, resolving operational accounting escalations so executive attention stays on planning and growth

First-Year Goals

• Complete the group’s external financial audit in 2027 with our already-engaged audit firm, managing the relationship end to end out of this seat
• Intercompany framework documented, agreed with external advisors, and settling cleanly every month
• Consolidated monthly financials produced on a repeatable calendar, with eliminations and workpapers audit-ready
• Accounting policy manual covering the group’s core areas drafted and adopted
• New ERP accounting platform live and stable, with consolidation and intercompany processes built on it from day one
• Corporate accounting branch roadmap defined, including a recommendation on the structure and level of in-house tax and treasury ownership

Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive accounting experience, including prior ownership of a multi-entity consolidation as a VP of Accounting, Corporate Controller, or Chief Accounting Officer
• Public accounting foundation, preferably national or Big Four, followed by senior in-house leadership at a rapidly growing private company
• Deep, current U.S. GAAP expertise and a record of managing external audits as the company-side lead
• Hands-on experience designing intercompany structures and working with external tax and legal advisors on cross-entity arrangements
• Experience building teams, standards, and processes in a rapidly scaling environment
• ERP implementation or migration experience strongly preferred; healthcare, pharmacy, or DTC subscription exposure is a plus
• Expert in consolidation and intercompany mechanics: able to supervise and review the work at a detailed level, and to step into the workpapers directly when needed
• Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship is required

Compensation and Benefits

• $200,000–$235,000 base salary, set within the range based on experience and qualifications
• Profit share opportunity; awards vary with individual performance and the group's profitability
• Fully remote (US) with flexible working hours; occasional travel for leadership and audit meetings
• Medical coverage and paid time off (accrued in your first year, flexible thereafter); 401(k) in rollout with a January 1, 2027 target launch
