Interim VP of Accounting

Ascent CFO Solutions • Denver, CO

2d • $110 - $125 • Onsite

About The Position

This is a hands-on interim engagement, and you'd make a real difference from day one. It lasts until the permanent VP of Accounting / Controller is in place. You'll report to the CFO, who is based out of state, and you'll be the senior finance leader in the Denver office. You'll partner closely with the CEO, COO, and Chief of Staff. Your first focus is getting to know the accounting team and understanding where they need support. You'll also make sure leadership can rely on the numbers.

Requirements

• Experience as a Controller, VP of Accounting, or CFO at a company with $200–500M in revenue.
• Strong GAAP knowledge, and the ability to clearly explain how you think about the financials.
• Availability to start the week of October 19th.
• Ability to work on-site in Denver.

Nice To Haves

• E-commerce or direct-to-consumer experience.
• Experience at a VC-backed company.
• Multi-entity and post-acquisition integration experience, ideally in NetSuite.
• Experience managing offshore accounting teams.

Responsibilities

• Get to know the accounting team, onshore and offshore (15–20 people, including several accounting managers and an Assistant Controller), and recommend how to set them up for success.
• Review the team's work and the financial reports before they go to leadership.
• Evaluate accounting processes across the multiple NetSuite instances and entity P&Ls, then help identify gaps and quick wins.
• Roll up your sleeves and pitch in wherever the team needs you.
• Join regular check-ins with the CFO, COO, Chief of Staff, and CEO.
