Job Description & How to Apply Below
The Vice President, Accounting & Finance will own all core finance and accounting functions — tax, audit, treasury/banking, financial reporting, and FP&A — while also functioning as a true working manager.
Responsibilities- Accounting & Financial Operations (~40% of time)
- Own the monthly and period-end close process, with direct, hands‑on involvement in journal entries (close activities represent roughly 20% of overall time)
- Maintain the integrity of the company's books and records in ERP
- Manage banking relationships and day‑to‑day bank transaction activity
- Oversee tax and audit functions
- Build and strengthen internal controls across a very high‑volume transaction environment
- Develop deep expertise in the company's operating platform and enterprise systems to ensure clean data flow
FP&A (~30% of time)
- Build and present clear, basic financial and KPI reporting that supports how leadership wants to run the business
- Translate financial data into a clear, digestible narrative for leadership and the ownership group ("tell the story")
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and ad hoc financial analysis
Business Partnering, People Management & Projects (~30% of time)
- Serve as a key finance partner to the functional leadership across the organization
- Manage, mentor, and develop a team of direct reports
- Lead ad hoc projects as the business scales and matures
- 12–15 years of progressive accounting/finance experience
- Public accounting experience strongly preferred; CPA highly preferred
- Strong technical accounting foundation, with experience owning close, audit, and tax in a standalone or near‑standalone capacity
- Prior experience in a private equity‑backed or sponsor‑owned company a plus
- A genuine "doer" — comfortable in the details of the close and daily accounting, not just reviewing others' work
- Inquisitive and analytical; willing to dig into systems and transaction‑level data until truly expert in how the business works
- Strong executive presence and communication skills; able to confidently and credibly discuss financial performance and KPIs with senior leadership
- Able to flex between high‑level financial storytelling and detailed, in‑the‑weeds accounting work
