Director of Accounting and Administration

Director of Accounting & Administration
Seva Dental Team | Michigan or Ohio

The Opportunity
Seva Dental Team is looking for an experienced accounting leader who can see the big picture—and is still willing to roll up their sleeves when the details need attention.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Director of Accounting & Administration will lead Seva’s accounting operations, financial reporting, internal controls, and key administrative functions. This is a highly hands-on role with one direct report, so the right person must be equally comfortable setting direction and doing the work.

This person will play an important role in building the financial infrastructure needed to support a growing, multi-practice organization while ensuring we remain accurate, compliant, and financially sound.

This is an opportunity to do more than maintain existing processes. You will help shape how Seva operates as we grow—creating stronger systems, reducing manual work, bringing clarity to complex information, and ensuring our leaders and practices have the financial support they need to succeed.

This position is intended to become a full-time leadership role. However, Seva is open to considering an experienced candidate who would prefer to begin on a part-time schedule and transition to full-time as the organization continues to grow. The timing and expectations for that transition would be mutually agreed upon during the hiring process.

About Seva Dental Team
Seva Dental Team is a high-growth, doctor-led dental organization supporting practices across Michigan and Ohio. We acquire established neighborhood dental practices and provide the operational resources, expertise, and support they need to thrive.

Our team is Driven by Purpose and Defined by Service. We are committed to creating healthier neighborhoods, meaningful careers for our team members, and an environment where doctors can focus on delivering outstanding patient care.
We believe strong practices require strong financial and operational foundations. We are building an accounting and administrative function that reflects the same care, integrity, and commitment to excellence that we bring to our patients and practices.

• Strong knowledge of GAAP, financial reporting, account reconciliation, and internal controls
• Experience leading month-end and year-end close processes

• Experience improving accounting workflows through automation or system integration

Schedule Flexibility
We recognize that an outstanding candidate may be returning to the workforce, transitioning from consulting or fractional work, or looking to increase their professional commitments over time. While our long-term need is for a full-time leader, we are open to discussing a part-time starting schedule with a defined path toward full-time employment.

Candidates interested in this option should be prepared to maintain consistent availability and take ownership of critical accounting deadlines, including month-end close, reporting, and other time-sensitive responsibilities.

You’ll Be Successful Here If You

• Operate with integrity and take ownership of your work
• Genuinely enjoy accounting and take satisfaction in getting the details right
• Are comfortable moving between strategic discussions and hands-on accounting work
• Bring structure and clarity to fast-moving or complex environments
• Notice when something does not reconcile—and keep working until you understand why
• Look at manual processes and instinctively begin thinking about how they could work better
• Build processes that are strong enough to scale without making them unnecessarily complicated
• Communicate directly, professionally, and clearly
• Enjoy mentoring and developing another team member
• Approach our practices with a service-oriented mindset
• Know when a spreadsheet is telling an important story—and when it is just creating more spreadsheets
• Are energized by the opportunity to build, improve, and leave things better than you found them

Our Values
At Seva, how we work matters just as much as what we accomplish:

• Win as a Team
• Be the Solution
• Better Every Day
• Serve with a Smile

If you are a hands-on accounting leader who wants to build smarter systems and strengthen the financial foundation of a growing, purpose-driven organization, we would love to meet you.
