• Partner closely with the CFO and executive leadership on financial performance and business initiatives
• Manage external audit relationships and annual audit preparation
• Oversee cash management, treasury, payroll, tax coordination, and other core accounting functions
• Evaluate existing systems and processes and play a key role in future ERP modernization
• Develop scalable accounting processes to support continued growth

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience with significant leadership responsibility
• Current or previous Controller, Assistant Controller, Director of Accounting, or comparable accounting leadership experience
• Experience within a large, sophisticated, recognizable organization strongly preferred
• Strong technical accounting foundation with deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP
• Demonstrated ownership of financial close, reporting, audits, controls, and multi-entity accounting
• Track record of improving accounting processes, systems, and team performance
• Experience leading and developing accounting professionals
• Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on in a leaner environment
• Strong executive communication skills and experience partnering with senior leadership
• ERP implementation or transformation experience is highly desirable
• CPA strongly preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to take the accounting discipline and best practices developed within a larger organization and make a significant impact in a more agile environment. You'll have direct access to senior leadership, ownership of the accounting function, and the opportunity to shape the people, processes, controls, and systems supporting a global business.Koyel
