• Design and implement a scalable accounting infrastructure to support ongoing acquisitions and rapid growth.
• Lead financial due diligence and post-close integration of newly acquired entities, including standardization of accounting policies, systems, and controls.
• Partner closely with the FP&A, operations, and M&A teams to ensure seamless integration and data integrity.
• Strengthen internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures to ensure accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.
• Oversee external audits and tax compliance in partnership with third-party advisors.
• Develop and mentor a team of accounting professionals across headquarters and field operations, promoting continuous improvement and professionalization across the platform.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CFO and executive team, providing financial insight to drive strategic decisions.
• Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and partnership between field and corporate finance teams.
• Represent the finance function with external stakeholders including auditors, lenders, and private equity partners.

• 10+ years of progressive accounting and controllership experience.
• Experience in a private equity–backed, multi-entity, or aggregator environment strongly preferred.
• Proven success in a high-growth, acquisitive, or field services business model (e.g., construction, facilities, restoration, or similar industries).
• Track record of building and scaling accounting functions and teams.
• Strong understanding of US GAAP, consolidations, ERP systems (Sage Intacct, NetSuite or similar), and financial controls.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, manage multiple priorities, and develop high-performing teams.
