The OpportunityThis is a high-visibility, hands-on leadership role for an accounting professional who wants direct exposure to the C-suite and a real seat at the table in shaping company strategy. You'll lead a global accounting team of 10-15 people across the US, Colombia, Canada, and the Philippines, and you'll work side-by-side with the CFO in daily meetings - not buried in a back office. This isn't a role for someone looking to coast; it's a roll-up-your-sleeves position for someone who wants to build, fix, and lead, and who sees a path to a future CFO seat.

- Oversee the customer invoicing process and ensure accuracy, timeliness, and strong internal controls.

- Manage, mentor, and develop a global accounting team of 10-15 professionals.
- Partner closely with the CFO and C-suite on ad hoc financial projects and special assignments.
- Help drive process improvements and scalability as the company grows and matures operationally.
Requirements- Bachelor's degree in accounting required.
- CPA preferred.
- Proven experience leading an accounting team - prior experience as a Controller is a plus but not required; this can be a step-up opportunity for the right candidate.
