VP of Accounting

VP of Accounting
$175,000-$225,000 base salary + bonus

This is a rare opportunity for a VP of Accounting to join a highly respected financial services organization, work alongside an accomplished CFO during a planned transition, and ultimately step into the CFO position while leading accounting operations across multiple business entities.

Why This VP of Accounting Opportunity Stands Out:

• Clear succession path from VP of Accounting to CFO

• High-visibility VP of Accounting role overseeing accounting, finance operations, payroll, compensation, and reporting across multiple affiliated businesses.

• Opportunity for a public accounting leader, ideally from a Big 4 environment, to make a meaningful move into industry while maintaining exposure to complex financial services operations.

• Lead and develop an established accounting team while partnering directly with executive leadership and ownership.

• Strong work-life balance within a stable, growth-oriented organization.

• Significant exposure to investment management, mutual funds, ETFs, board reporting, and executive decision-making.

Key Responsibilities for the VP of Accounting:

• Lead all accounting operations as the VP of Accounting, including general ledger, financial reporting, month-end close, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and compensation administration.

• Manage and develop a team of approximately 6-10 accounting professionals, including direct oversight of the Controller and key accounting functions.

• Oversee financial reporting, P&L analysis, KPI reporting, commission calculations, reconciliations, and accounting controls across multiple business entities.

• Serve as the primary accounting and finance representative for investment-related reporting activities, including interaction with boards overseeing mutual funds and ETF products.

• Partner with executive leadership to improve processes, automate manual workflows, strengthen reporting capabilities, and support strategic business initiatives.

• Guide the continued evolution of accounting systems and controls while ensuring accuracy, compliance, and operational efficiency.

• Act as a hands-on VP of Accounting, balancing strategic leadership with day-to-day financial oversight.

Qualifications for the VP of Accounting:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred.

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience with a foundation in Big 4 or large public accounting environments.

• Exposure to financial services, investment management, asset management, mutual funds, or related financial services clients.

Target Compensation: $175,000-$225,000 base salary + bonus
