About the Role:
We’re seeking a dynamic Director of Finance & Accounting to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment and enjoys wearing multiple hats. You’ll take ownership of all core accounting and finance functions — from closing out the books to leading tax strategy and supporting multiple entities — while working closely with leadership on business and financial strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee accounting and finance operations across multiple entities.
• Lead month-end and year-end close processes, including annual tax preparation and filings.
• Manage payroll, reporting, and GAAP accounting.
• Develop cash flow forecasts and perform regular financial reporting.
• Drive revenue recognition and company-wide financial strategy.
• Support tax compliance and planning across various entities.
• Prepare P&L statements, K-1 filings, and asset depreciation schedules.
• Collaborate with external tax advisors and legal counsel for strategic planning.
• Identify and manage accounts past due.
• Supervise and mentor a small team (2–5 direct reports).
• Utilize QuickBooks and CargoWise software.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a Director-level finance or accounting role.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, tax codes, and multi-entity accounting.
• Experience in transactional accounting and revenue recognition.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to execute and take ownership.
• Comfortable in a smaller company environment — adaptable, resourceful, and detail-oriented.
• Excellent leadership and communication skills.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• You’ll be exposed to every facet of the business and have the opportunity to make a real impact.
• A chance to build and shape processes in a growing organization.
• Not a 9–5 spreadsheet job — this is a role for someone with initiative and drive.
• We’re looking to interview and hire before the end of the year, so if you’re ready to take on a leadership role where you can truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
