Jobtailor

Responsibilities Serve as the accounting team’s operational champion; drive continuous efficiency through automated workflows, internal tool integrations, and NetSuite ERP enhancements to dramatically compress the month-end close cycle. Oversee day-to-day public company operations across the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and Tax functions, ensuring absolute accuracy, timeliness, and strong internal controls. Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes—including journal entry preparation/review, account reconciliations, and robust flux analysis—to deliver audit-ready results supporting timely SEC and investor reporting. Maintain and optimize the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of SOX internal controls across all operational accounting cycles; preserve compliance with US GAAP, SEC regulations, and PCAOB standards. Prepare comprehensive, audit-ready schedules and serve as a primary partner to external and internal auditors to ensure seamless annual audits and quarterly reviews. Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing accounting operations team, fostering a culture of accountability, structured professional growth, and continuous process improvement. Maintain the corporate chart of accounts, govern core accounting system information, and support executive management on special strategic projects, business model scale-ups, and ad-hoc financial analysis. Qualifications 10+ years of progressive accounting experience spanning public company environments and public accounting (audit); a Big 4 foundation is highly preferred. 5+ years of dedicated experience directly leading, developing, and scaling accounting teams in similar core operational functions. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, and an active CPA license (required). In-depth, practical knowledge of US GAAP documentation, SEC reporting regulations, PCAOB standards, and SOX internal control frameworks. Hands-on ERP experience with a proven track record of leading system enhancements, configuration testing, or module implementations; NetSuite experience is highly ideal. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a visible passion for process mapping, eliminating manual spreadsheets, and scaling transactional workflows. #J-18808-Ljbffr
