Director of Accounting

Cambium is a growth stage company modernizing the trillion dollar wood supply chain. It's an industry still run by thousands of small, disconnected suppliers, where most wood is pushed out in the hope it finds a buyer. We start with what the customer needs and build the supply chain back from there. We pair our own physical operations with software that removes waste and gives buyers visibility from forest to finished product.

Customers like Amazon, Equinox and Room & Board rely on us, Fast Company named us one of its Most Innovative Companies, and we're growing both organically and through acquisitions. We're looking for ambitious, energetic people to help build it.

We're hiring a Director of Accounting to own Cambium's accounting function. You'll take books that moved from Quick Books and Sage into Net Suite and make them clean, structured and audit ready. You'll run a reliable monthly close across the parent company and acquired subsidiaries, and lead the accounting integration of each company we acquire. This is a hands on leadership role: you do the work, and you lead the offshore accounting team that does it with you.

This is a build role. The first six months are heavy on cleanup, but nothing is missing: all the data is there, it's just unstructured. Your job is to give it structure and get it to sing, while running the close and integrating the acquired companies. You report to the VP Finance, with room to grow the team as we scale.

• The historical books are clean (first six months). Every balance sheet account is reconciled and supported, the Quick Books and Sage history ties out in Net Suite, and deferred revenue runs on a method that ties to shipments.

• The close is reliable. The chart of accounts is redesigned, and the close lands in under 10 business days every month, with consistent coding by business unit and revenue center. Budget versus actuals pulls straight from Net Suite with no rework. Budgeting and FP&A analysis sit elsewhere on the team.

• The subsidiaries are in. Acquired entities are on Net Suite One World, and intercompany and consolidation run as part of the monthly close.

• The offshore team works to your standard. Routine reconciliations and entries are right the first time, and you review rather than redo.

• The books are audit ready. Accounting policies and controls are written down and followed.

• A five day close.

• A clean audit. You lead Cambium through its external audit and own the auditor relationship.

• Acquisitions plug in on a playbook. Each new company is on our chart of accounts and in the consolidated close within 90 days of closing.

• A team you built. You hire and develop in house accountants as we grow. How far the seat goes is up to you.

• Own the month end close across the parent company and subsidiaries, completing within 10 business days.

• Reconcile and clean up historical balances, and bring legacy Quick Books and Sage data into a consistent structure in Net Suite.

• Redesign and own the chart of accounts and segment structure across business units and revenue centers.

• Fix deferred revenue, and decide whether Net Suite Advanced Revenue Management is the right long term tool.

• Lead the accounting integration of acquired subsidiaries into Net Suite One World, including intercompany and consolidation.

• Lead our offshore accounting team day to day: assign the work, review it and hold the quality bar.

• Own accounting policies and controls, keep the books audit ready, and own the external auditor relationship.

• Own the accuracy of inventory, WIP, COGS and project costing.

• Partner with the Finance Operations Manager on AP, AR, billing and project costing.

• Partner with our Net Suite owner on configuration, and keep Net Suite as the system of record rather than spreadsheets.

• 6 to 10 years of accounting experience, including owning a month end close end to end.

• Has personally cleaned up or rebuilt messy books, ideally a Quick Books or Sage migration into Net Suite.

• Has managed accountants, including outsourced or offshore teams in other time zones.

• Multi entity accounting: intercompany, consolidation, and folding acquired companies into an existing chart of accounts.

• Inventory and COGS accounting at a company that moves physical product.

• Deferred revenue and revenue recognition for product or project businesses.

• Hands on Net Suite experience across parent and…
