  • Partner w Top Caliber Leaders: Be a valued partner to the cofounders, both highly pedigreed, accomplished and focused operators. Act as the company's financial steward to support the cofounders with reporting, process and feedback.

  • 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

  • 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.
