This is a high-visibility, hands-on leadership role that blends technical accounting expertise with operational execution, systems modernization, and change leadership. Success in this role requires comfort with ambiguity, strong cross-functional influence, and a pragmatic approach to building structure in a rapidly evolving organization.

    • Procure-to-Pay (AP, Purchasing, T&E)

  • Implement purchasing controls, approval matrices, and value-added 3-way match
  • Own vendor onboarding, AP workflows, payment runs, and spend visibility reporting

    • Close, Accounting & Financial Reporting

  • Own the close calendar, journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statement accuracy
  • Manage intercompany accounting, consolidations, and month-end review packages
  • Support technical accounting, policy documentation, and external audit execution

    • Internal Controls & Risk Management

  • Design and implement internal controls with a SOX-ready mindset
  • Own policy documentation, testing, exception tracking, and remediation
  • Strengthen access controls and segregation of duties across ERP, banking, and expense systems

    • Systems, Automation & AI

  • Lead finance systems administration and continuous improvement (NetSuite or similar ERP)
  • Automate close, AP / AR, reconciliations, approvals, and reporting
  • Implement AI-enabled use cases (coding support, anomaly detection, invoice validation) with proper controls

    • Acquisition Accounting & Integration

  • Own the accounting integration playbook for acquisitions
  • Coordinate purchase accounting and ensure clean handoff to ongoing reporting
  • Standardize chart of accounts, policies, and reporting across acquired entities

    • Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead, coach, and develop the accounting team through clear expectations and accountability
  • Redesign roles and workflows to improve efficiency and elevate performance

    • To be successful in the role, you must possess :
