You are joining at a moment when the accounting foundation needs to be rebuilt and strengthened. The close book requires a QC overhaul. The revenue recognition framework requires an expert who can drive it to resolution. The lender compliance certificate needs an internal owner who can produce it without external support.

Qualifications - 15+ years of progressive accounting experience. - Experience as a controller in a PE-backed company. - Hands-on experience with ASC 606 in a multi-product, multi-revenue-model business. - Demonstrated experience inheriting or rebuilding a broken or unreliable close process. - Experience managing global accounting teams and multi-jurisdictional statutory audits. - Strong technical accounting skills in US GAAP. - NetSuite experience required; RevPro or comparable revenue recognition system preferred. - Active CPA license strongly preferred; bachelor's degree in accounting required. Requirements - Experience managing a revenue recognition function through a 605-to-606 transition. - Experience managing staged billing programs. - Experience in a business with multiple simultaneous revenue models. - Experience managing an accounting function through an external quality review or close-process audit. - Familiarity with PE-level cost savings tracking. Benefits - Direct access to the CFO. - Mandate to drive change. - Team of strong performers needing leadership and development. - Engagement in active workstreams from day one.
