Accounting Manager

Published: 6/14/2022

Job Description

We're excited to be partnering with a top-tier, private equity-backed industrial services rollup strategy to hire an Accounting Manager to support continued expansion. This is a truly unique opportunity to join a high-growth platform early and take full ownership of the accounting function for an operating business, with the backing of a rapidly scaling PE platform behind you.

What You'll Be Doing

Own the monthly close process end to end, producing an early, reliable view of results and steadily tightening the timeline

Manage revenue recognition and job costing on active projects, extending into inventory tracking and periodic cycle counts as required

Maintain a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast and assemble the broader financial reporting package, including variance commentary

Strengthen internal controls, budgets, and KPI tracking, while keeping the business compliant with applicable regulations

Partner with the regional finance team on ERP usage, system upgrades, and integrations as the platform scales

Manage and develop accounting staff where a team is in place, and ensure accurate payroll, AR, and AP

What We're Looking For

4–10 years of progressive accounting experience, having personally run a monthly close rather than only supporting one

Solid technical grounding in GAAP, including reconciliations, accruals, and preparation of financial statements

A history of owning close and reporting for more than one entity, branch, or subsidiary at a time

Working knowledge of mid-market accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, ServiceTitan, or similar), with the ability to pick up new systems quickly

Advanced Excel skills paired with the independence to bring order and process to loosely defined problems

Public accounting background a plus

Project-based, construction, or inventory-intensive experience (job costing, WIP, cycle counts) a plus

Prior experience leading or mentoring a small accounting team a plus

CPA a plus
