The Blueprint: Who Are You?

• You are a CPA who survived the trial-by-fire of public accounting (Big 4/National) but transitioned to the private sector and realized you love the operational side of business.
• You look at a complex multi-state Sales & Use tax filing and don't immediately cry.
• You can seamlessly pivot from explaining high-level variance analysis to an executive, to diving head-first into a messy general ledger reconciliation.
• You actually enjoy mentoring a team and turning green staff accountants into absolute rockstars.

What You'll Be Doing (The Ledger)

• The Daily Grind: Captaining the daily operations of the GL accounting team. You're the quarterback making sure month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close happen seamlessly and strictly under GAAP guidelines.
• Audit & Tax Defense: Serving as the primary gatekeeper for external auditors (you speak their language, after all) and ensuring sales/use tax compliance across various jurisdictions is locked down.
• Forward-Looking Strategy: Crafting accurate cash forecasts, analyzing balance sheets, and identifying the "why" behind financial variances to help leadership make big-time strategic moves.
• System Optimization: Helping the team navigate a fast-paced, evolving environment by tightening internal controls and ensuring the ERP system is running like a finely oiled machine.

The Checklist (Must-Haves & Nice-to-Haves)

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting/Finance + an active CPA designation (non-negotiable for this one!).
• 7+ years of total accounting experience, including at least 3 years explicitly managing a team. A mix of Public Accounting (Big 4/National) and private industry experience is the magic formula here.
• Previous experience in distribution, wholesale, manufacturing, or a similar heavy-inventory sector. You understand margins, supply chains, and revenue recognition for physical goods.
• You are an Excel wizard, obviously. But if you have experience with Epicor ERP products (like Eclipse or Prophet21)? You just skipped to the front of the line.
