We are looking for a Director of Accounting to lead and strengthen our accounting function, ensuring accurate financial reporting, strong internal controls, regulatory compliance, and efficient month-end and year-end close processes. This senior leadership role is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the accounting department while partnering closely with finance, executive leadership, auditors, tax advisors, and cross-functional business teams. The ideal candidate combines deep technical accounting expertise with strategic thinking, operational discipline, and the ability to build and mentor high-performing teams.
The Director of Accounting will manage core accounting activities including general ledger oversight, account reconciliations, financial statement preparation, revenue and expense recognition, fixed assets, accruals, and balance sheet integrity. This role will also establish and maintain accounting policies and procedures that align with applicable standards, company objectives, and evolving business needs. A successful candidate will be comfortable working in a dynamic environment, improving processes, implementing controls, and supporting system enhancements that increase accuracy, transparency, and scalability.
In this position, you will play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of financial data and delivering timely insights to support decision-making. You will oversee the close calendar, review journal entries, monitor compliance requirements, and coordinate internal and external audits. You will also collaborate with FP&A, treasury, payroll, procurement, and legal teams to ensure accounting treatment is appropriate and business transactions are properly documented. Experience with budgeting support, cash flow awareness, and multi-entity or international accounting environments is highly valued.
Beyond technical responsibilities, this role requires strong leadership and communication skills. The Director of Accounting must be able to explain complex accounting matters to non-financial stakeholders, influence process improvements across departments, and foster a culture of accountability, accuracy, and continuous improvement. The right candidate will be proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of balancing strategic priorities with hands-on execution.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting leader who wants to shape financial operations, strengthen governance, and contribute to the long-term success of the organization. If you are passionate about accounting excellence, team development, and building reliable financial processes that support growth, we encourage you to apply.
