Senior Director, Accounting:

We are looking for a seasoned and operationally strong accounting leader to join Reformation as Sr. Director of Accounting at a defining moment in our company's growth. As a newly public company with a global supply chain and multi-channel business model, we need someone who has led corporate accounting functions with precision and confidence, someone who knows how to run a clean, well-controlled general ledger, has a solid working knowledge of technical accounting standards, develops high-performing teams, and partners credibly with executive leadership and cross-functional teams on financial reporting and compliance.

You will not just manage the accounting function, you will elevate it.

• Prepare and review financial statements, balance sheet reconciliations, flux analyses, and management reports for executive leadership
• Reconcile and investigate outstanding balances, proactively addressing and resolving discrepancies and variances
• Support the preparation and review of external financial filings, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance with US GAAP and SEC requirements

• Maintain a working command of technical accounting standards, staying current on changes and assessing their operational impact on the business in partnership with accounting specialists

Controls, Compliance, and Audit

• Build and maintain a strong internal controls environment, accounting policies, and SOX-ready infrastructure across the corporate accounting function

• Partner closely with FP&A, Operations, Supply Chain, Wholesale, Tech, and Finance to ensure financial accuracy, smooth billing processes, and precise customer invoicing and collections
• Collaborate with the broader accounting function on inventory and cost accounting matters, bringing enough familiarity to be a credible and effective cross-functional partner
• Support new business initiatives, market launches, and evolving operational models with sound accounting guidance and scalable financial infrastructure
• Continuously improve processes, systems, and reporting infrastructure to drive efficiency, accuracy, and scalability as the business grows globally

 

What You'll Need:

• 10 to 15 years of progressive accounting experience, including 5 or more years leading accounting teams at a senior level
• CPA required; MBA a plus
• Deep expertise in general ledger accounting, fixed assets, intercompany accounting, and financial reporting in a multi-entity environment
• Solid working knowledge of US GAAP and technical accounting standards, with the ability to assess impact, support technical accounting positions, and partner effectively with accounting specialists on complex matters
• Demonstrated experience operating within or supporting a public company reporting environment, including working familiarity with SEC reporting requirements and SOX compliance
• General familiarity with inventory and cost accounting in a retail, apparel, or CPG environment; enough context to partner effectively with the broader accounting team without owning that scope directly
• A mix of Big 4 or mid-tier public accounting and private industry experience strongly preferred
• Advanced ERP experience required; NetSuite strongly preferred
• Strong people leader with a track record of building and developing teams and driving cross-functional alignment at a senior level
• Self-motivated, highly collaborative, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced environment

 

Who You Are:

• You have unquestionable integrity and hold yourself and your team to a high standard

• You lead with curiosity and humility, collaborating without ego and making the people around you better
• You have built teams before and you know what good looks like at every level beneath you
• You are energized by complexity and motivated by ownership, not just oversight
