Accounting Manager (Controller-Track)
About The Position
We’re looking for an experienced Accounting Manager who’s ready to step into something bigger than a traditional role. This position is built as a Controller-track opportunity for a hands-on leader who wants real ownership, visibility, and a clear path to expanded financial leadership. You’ll run day-to-day accounting operations while elevating the function—tightening controls, improving reporting, and building audit-ready financials under U.S. GAAP. Over time, this role will naturally expand into broader oversight of the close process, audits, and financial structure consistent with a Controller-level position. If you’re someone who’s been executing at a high level but hasn’t yet been given the reins—this is that opportunity.
Requirements
- Strong technical accounting foundation (GAAP)
- Advanced Excel skills—you don’t just use it, you leverage it
- Experience with accounting systems / ERP platforms
- Ability to operate as both a doer and a leader
- Organized, deadline-driven, and comfortable managing competing priorities
- Clear, confident communicator—especially with ownership
- A proactive mindset—you fix problems instead of working around them
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience
- 2+ years in a lead or supervisory role

- Step in where needed—this is a leadership role, not a “delegate-only” role
- Build and maintain audit-ready financials and supporting schedules
- Strengthen internal controls and close discipline
