Full Job Description

Job Summary
The Director of Accounting is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the company's financial statements and reporting. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this role leads the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable teams and partners closely with the Director of Accounting Operations, who leads sales and inventory-related transactional support and processing.

This role is well suited to someone who genuinely enjoys the mechanics of accounting — reconciliations, close processes, and getting the details right — while also being able to manage a team, work cross-functionally, and support the company through growth, acquisitions, and system changes.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Own the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
Lead and manage the month-end and year-end close process, ensuring deadlines are met and financials are accurate and complete
Prepare and deliver financial reporting packages and analysis for the CFO and executive leadership
Serve as a key point of contact for the independent CPA firm during the annual audit; prepare audit schedules, support requests, and coordinate fieldwork
Ensure account reconciliations are completed timely and accurately across the general ledger
Directly manage and develop the Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) teams, setting priorities and building team accountability
Partner with the Director of Accounting Operations to ensure smooth handoffs between transactional processing and financial reporting
Calculate and process sales/employee commissions accurately and on schedule
Support payroll accounting, including reconciliation of payroll-related accounts
Support cash management, banking relationships, and treasury functions, including monitoring cash positions and assisting with forecasting
Provide accounting support related to inventory-heavy operations
Support due diligence, integration, and accounting work related to acquisitions
Assist with accounting system conversions and process improvement initiatives
Roll up sleeves as needed — this role is expected to be hands-on, not purely supervisory

Position Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or equivalent required
Minimum of 7 years of accounting experience which includes 3–5 years of public accounting experience, and/or 2–4 years in a Controller or Assistant Controller role
CPA preferred
Successful prior experience managing or supervising a team
Experience with payroll, commission calculations, banking/treasury management, and inventory accounting
Experience with accounting software or system conversions
Experience supporting acquisitions or business integrations
Prior experience in equipment dealership, construction, manufacturing, distribution, or another inventory-heavy industry preferred
High level of attention to detail and data accuracy
Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
Genuinely enjoys reconciliations and the discipline of getting the numbers right
Passionate about the completeness and accuracy of financial data
Willing to be hands-on and work through the details, not just delegate
Comfortable operating in a mid-market company environment where roles span both strategic and tactical work
Must be an excellent communicator, orally and in writing, with the ability to communicate to employees and partners at all levels
Must exemplify the company’s values of Integrity, Courtesy, Respect, Innovation, and Safety
