About The Position

Lead accounting operations for a consumer services roll-up based in Phoenix, building scalable finance operations and integration playbooks from the ground up. Drive high-velocity M&A and foundational team-build, partnering with the cofounders in a well-capitalized platform. This role offers rapid career acceleration, compressing a decade of F&A leadership experience into 2 years by owning the accounting function within a high-growth platform roll-up strategy capitalized by a brand-name PE. You will be a valued partner to the cofounders, acting as the company's financial steward to support them with reporting, process, and feedback. This is a strategic build within a dynamic M&A environment where you will be a hands-on process builder as the platform calibrates the playbook toward a repeatable acquisition process, and then build a team to support additional scale.

Requirements

• Proven Multi-Unit Roll-Up Controller: Direct experience leading acquisition integrations end to end in a fast-paced M&A setting, ensuring finance doesn’t become a bottleneck.
• Hands-On Builder with Tech Savvy: A working-Controller mindset comfortable in the trenches—handling journal entries, month-end close, and building scalable accounting infrastructure, while proactively leveraging AI and automation to optimize finance ops.
• Strong Private Equity & Sponsor Reporting Experience: Fluency in multi-entity consolidations, sponsor reporting cadence, and crafting board packages with KPI scorecards, cash forecasts, and variance commentary, aligned with PE-backed board expectations.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly close process: Manage journal entries, reconciliations, and month-end close across multiple acquired entities to deliver timely, accurate consolidated financials.
• Build and maintain scalable accounting infrastructure: Design and implement a unified Chart of Accounts and accounting policies optimized for multi-entity consolidation and rapid acquisition integration.
• Lead acquisition integrations and purchase accounting: Drive opening balance sheet prep, system cut-overs from QuickBooks/manuals to ERP, and operationalize the integration playbook for new acquisitions.
• Drive ERP selection and implementation: Own migration to Sage Intacct or NetSuite, managing vendors, data migration, and ensuring ERP supports high-velocity acquisition volume.
• Partner with founders and stakeholders: Deliver board-level financial reporting, KPI scorecards, cash forecasting, and act as a strategic finance partner in deal screening and capital allocation.
