In this role, you will own accounting operations end to end: monthly close, revenue recognition, cost and inventory accounting, fixed-asset and fleet accounting, multi-entity consolidation, reserves, and internal controls.

Manage the Staff Accountant; partner with the Director of Finance on FP&A and with Operations on inventory and fleet accounting.
- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close on a published calendar with shrinking cycle time.
- Establish and document revenue recognition policy for RaaS contracts (ASC 606/842 as applicable), including deployment, billing-suspension, and contract-modification treatment.
- Own fleet accounting: capitalization policy, depreciation schedules, refurbishment treatment, disposition and impairment events.
- Own inventory accounting: standard costs, E&O reserves, cycle-count reconciliation with Operations, and reporting against the inventory exposure cap.
- Own multi-entity consolidation and intercompany accounting as the Mexico subsidiary activates; establish statutory compliance coordination with local providers.
- Build the internal control environment and documentation toward audit-readiness; manage the external audit relationship.
- Own the accounting workstream of the ERP transition, ensuring the chart of accounts, costing model, and controls survive the migration.
- Manage and develop your team.
Requirements- 8+ years progressive accounting experience with 3+ years owning a close, ideally as Controller or Assistant Controller in a hardware, manufacturing, or asset-intensive company.
