THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a rare opportunity to build and scale an accounting organization at a pivotal stage of growth.

Reporting to the VP of Finance & Corporate Controller, the Director of Accounting will be the senior operational accounting leader responsible for transforming the close process, strengthening accounting operations, enhancing audit readiness, and building the infrastructure required to support a rapidly growing business.

We’re not looking for someone to simply maintain existing processes. We’re looking for a leader who has built scalable accounting operations before and knows how to establish the rigor, accountability, and discipline required in a high-growth environment.

The ideal candidate combines strong operational accounting expertise with a passion for process improvement, automation, and team development.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Accounting Operations

Own the monthly and quarterly close process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and accountability
Oversee general ledger activities, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, payroll accounting, and related accounting operations
Drive financial statement integrity and support management reporting requirements
Partner closely with FP&A, Legal, HR, Operations, and other stakeholders across the organization

Build and Scale the Close Process

Design and implement a more efficient and scalable close process
Establish close calendars, ownership structures, review procedures, and reconciliation standards
Develop variance and flux analysis frameworks that improve visibility and decision-making
Create repeatable, auditable processes that support long-term growth

Drive Audit Readiness and Controls

Serve as the primary accounting partner to external auditors
Coordinate audit activities and manage audit requests across the organization
Strengthen internal controls, documentation, and accounting policies
Help build a highly disciplined and audit-ready accounting environment

Modernize Through Technology

Identify opportunities to leverage automation, AI tools, and technology to improve efficiency and reduce manual work
Partner on ERP optimization and accounting systems enhancements
Champion continuous improvement across accounting processes and workflows

Develop the Team

Lead, mentor, and develop a growing accounting organization
Foster a culture of accountability, ownership, and operational excellence
Help recruit and onboard future members of the accounting team as the company continues to scale

Qualifications

12+ years of progressive accounting experience
3+ years in a senior accounting leadership role such as Director of Accounting, Assistant Controller, or Controller in a public company
Proven experience improving or transforming accounting and close processes
Strong operational accounting background, including general ledger, reconciliations, accruals, and financial close management
Experience managing external audits and coordinating cross-functional audit activities
Demonstrated success building processes, controls, and scalable accounting infrastructure
Experience leading and developing accounting teams in fast-paced environments
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Strongly Preferred

CPA certification
Public accounting experience, ideally with a Big 4 or leading regional firm
Experience in manufacturing, industrial technology, hardware, energy, cleantech, or other operationally complex industries
Exposure to inventory and cost accounting environments
Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP platforms
Experience implementing automation, workflow, or close management tools

This position is onsite at our Menlo Park HQ. The salary will be adjusted to reflect local market conditions based on employee location as well as the experience of the employee. Along with the base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO stock options + benefits.

Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.

In more traditional words, Mainspring Energy, Inc is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.

This compensation and benefits information is based on Mainspring Energy's estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. We generally do not negotiate on salary once we have made an offer. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant prior experience and/or education, or particular skills and expertise. New hires joining the company tend to be paid within the starting base pay range noted above, with opportunities to increase pay over time based on development of additional skills, competencies, and company-specific knowledge.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
