Reporting to the Assistant Controller, you'll take the lead on essential functions like monthly close, financial reporting, accounts payable/receivable, system improvements, and audit coordination. You'll also play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our accounting processes as we continue to modernize and fully leverage the power of NetSuite ERP. We’re looking for a proactive, forward-thinking professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about process improvement, collaboration, and building strong, empowered teams.

Your leadership will help modernize processes, empower teams, and drive financial excellence. Here's how you’ll make a real impact: Collaborate with the Controller and Assistant Controller to implement forward-thinking accounting practices, systems, and tools that support smart, fast, and strategic decision-making.

Champion process improvements and cross-functional initiatives to streamline operations, enhance data flow, and elevate efficiency across departments. Lead, mentor, and develop your team, building a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and professional growth. Modernize and streamline accounting workflows, transitioning from paper-based systems to fully digital, electronic processes. Be a key contributor in our NetSuite ERP rollout, helping optimize systems and scale operations for the future. Analyze and troubleshoot variances, diving into the numbers to ensure clarity and control. Prepare and review complex journal entries and account reconciliations to keep our general ledger accurate and audit-ready. Work directly with external auditors during the year-end audit process, ensuring a smooth, well-documented experience from start to finish. Help drive the budgeting process, supporting long-term planning and monthly forecasting to align with business goals. Assist in preparing compliance documentation for federal and state tax filings and other regulatory requirements. What We’re Looking For: You’re a dynamic leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You bring a proactive mindset, a passion for process improvement, and a talent for mentoring teams. You’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves to get into the details—while keeping the big picture in sharp focus: A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is required. At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership or supervisory responsibilities. Experience in a mid-to-large organization ($100M+ in annual revenue). Proficiency in Microsoft Office, with advanced skills in Excel. Hands-on experience with ERP systems—NetSuite experience is a big plus. A solid command of GAAP and a proven ability to prepare complete, accurate financial statements. Strong expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis. Exceptional communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Even better if you also have: CPA or CMA certification (strongly preferred). Experience with ERP implementations or migrations—especially NetSuite. Familiarity with corporate tax filings and audit processes. Knowledge of treasury management systems. Ready to Make an Impact?
