VP, Global Controller

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $400B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.

Dandy is seeking an accomplished leader to own the entire global Accounting and Treasury function within our Finance organization. This role will be the primary accounting partner to the C-suite as we continue to scale the company internationally and prepare for IPO.

We are looking for a senior leader with experience in rapidly building, developing and implementing financial systems, reporting, planning, cash management, and accounting policy. With the accounting function playing a critical role in Dandy’s vertical integration and international expansion, the ideal candidate must be excited to roll up their sleeves and become a part of the business. You will lead the build-out of a scalable accounting team to support a rapidly growing, complex and data intensive operating business, whilst also preparing the financial systems and processes for IPO.

Close, reporting and consolidation

• Own financial reporting end to end: close, consolidation and account reconciliation. Move the monthly close from ~7+ days today to 3–4 days.
• Lead the shift from annual to quarterly reporting. Deliver consistent quarterly closes and financial statements, including SEC-ready disclosures such as segments and EPS.
• Set and enforce close standards. Own issues openly, explain results and close status clearly, and set a high bar across the team.
• Push accounting upstream. Partner with People, Ops and FP&A so data is right in the source systems (HRIS/payroll, billing, procurement) before close starts.

IPO readiness, controls and audit

• Own the relationship with our Big 4 auditor.
• Lead SOX readiness: control gap assessment, remediation, segregation of duties, and access and change-management controls across financial systems.
• Write and maintain formal accounting policies and technical accounting memos (revenue recognition, leases under ASC 842, stock comp, complex instruments, purchase price allocations).

Global and international

• Be the primary accounting stakeholder for international expansion as we grow from a handful of entities to many more across Europe, LATAM and APAC.
• Partner with Tax on transfer pricing, intercompany agreements, VAT and indirect tax, and a quarterly tax provision.
• Simplify intercompany processes and build a consolidation model where new entities fit into the existing process instead of needing a new one each time.
• Support global treasury and banking, including international banking partners and multi-currency AP and payments.

Manufacturing and cost accounting

• Partner with Operations and FP&A on cost accounting for our labs: inventory, cost cards, labor allocation, and the fixed assets behind the scanner fleet and manufacturing equipment.
• Make sure cost and margin data is accurate enough for leadership to make capital allocation and gross margin decisions.

Systems, Fin Ops and automation

• Own the accounting systems roadmap, centered on Net Suite. That covers integrations with billing, Stripe, Avalara, the HRIS/payroll system, procure-to-pay, and fixed asset and lease tools.
• Replace manual, spreadsheet-based processes with automated, auditable ones, and leverage AI tools
• Partner with Business Systems on ITGCs, data governance and finance system…
