Strategic Partnering: Deliver insights to ELT/Board; partner with FP&A on forward-looking analysis; support M&A due diligence and post-merger integration. Team Building: Hire and develop senior leaders across accounting, setting up a durable organizational model. What we’re looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA required. 15+ years progressive accounting/controllership experience, with 5+ at senior leadership. Strong technical accounting knowledge (GAAP/IFRS) and consolidation experience. Proven track record of leading large-scale transformation (systems, processes, talent). Deep experience in IPO/public company processes, SOX, and SEC reporting. Hands-on leader who has built close-to-reporting processes in complex environments. Comfortable with ambiguity and building from ground up. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work across cultures and geographies. Nice to have
High-growth, complex, multi-entity operating experience (SaaS, marketplaces, payments, or real estate). EEO and company information
Metropolis values in-person collaboration to drive innovation, strengthen culture, and enhance the member experience. Our corporate team members hold to an office-first model, which requires employees to be on-site at least four days a week, fostering organic interactions that spark creativity and connection. Metropolis is an equal opportunity employer. We make all hiring decisions based on merit, qualifications, and business needs, without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, or pregnancy), national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law.
