About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic Vice President of Global Accounting to lead our comprehensive accounting strategy. This pivotal role will oversee all accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and revenue recognition. You will drive the establishment of a robust internal control environment, contribute to our financial systems strategy, and ensure compliance with global tax regulations and audits. A critical aspect of your responsibilities will be preparing the organization for an IPO, focusing on public company reporting, systems, and governance. As a strategic partner to the CFO, your emphasis on financial strategy, risk management, and operational excellence will be vital to our success.
The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, coupled with an active CPA license. You should have at least 15 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally with a background in a Big 4 firm and proven leadership in a late-stage private or publicly traded SaaS organization. A deep understanding of US GAAP, ASC 606, and SaaS financial reporting metrics is essential, along with experience in IPO preparation and functioning in a public company environment. You will be a strategic systems thinker, focused on financial innovation, and should have strong executive presence, capable of influencing board-level and C-suite discussions. Global leadership experience and familiarity with international compliance will be highly valued.
