Accounting Manager

Our client is a private equity-backed company with approximately $25 million in revenue and 72 employees operating across three entities, including a recent acquisition in Greensboro, NC. The company is actively pursuing additional acquisitions with a long-term goal of growing to $100 million-$150 million in revenue
.

This is a highly visible,
100% accounting-focused Accounting Manager role reporting directly to the CFO. The position will oversee the day-to-day accounting function, manage two direct reports, and play a key role in consolidating and integrating multiple entities.

The immediate priorities are to close the July books, consolidate job costing across all three companies, and ensure the accounting function is accurate, consistent, and audit-ready
. The new Accounting Manager will initially work with the current/former Accounting Manager to learn the business and existing processes, then take ownership and identify opportunities to improve them.
