Role Summary:

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role. The Director of Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting will lead all aspects of technical accounting and external reporting, serve as a trusted advisor on complex accounting matters, and drive IPO readiness. This is a unique opportunity for someone who can operate at a strategic level while also taking ownership as an individual contributor—drafting memos, preparing filings, and building foundational processes from the ground up.

What You'll Do:

• Own and lead the company’s technical accounting function—research, document, and operationalize accounting positions for complex and non-routine transactions (e.g., ASC 606, stock-based compensation, debt/equity, M&A).
• Prepare and review SEC filings, including 10-Qs, 10-Ks, 8-Ks, and the S-1, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance with GAAP and SEC regulations.
• Partner cross-functionally with Legal, FP&A, HR, and other teams to drive IPO readiness and execute on financial reporting milestones.
• Be a hands-on operator—personally draft technical memos, reporting schedules, and key disclosures, especially in the near term.
• Own all financial reporting, including lender reporting
• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing team over time while establishing scalable processes and controls.
• Interface directly with external auditors, with full ownership over technical accounting matters and financial statements and disclosures.
• Drive adoption and implementation of new accounting standards and internal policies as the company matures.
• Support SOX readiness, including documentation and implementation of internal controls over financial reporting.
• Oversee the research and implementation of new accounting standards and ensure proper documentation and communication of their impact to senior management and the Board of Directors.
• Provide technical accounting guidance and support to finance teams and other departments within the organization.
• Develop and maintain accounting policies and procedures to ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance across the organization.
• Monitor regulatory and industry developments, assessing their impact on the company and advising management on appropriate actions.
• Participate in special projects and initiatives as needed, providing technical accounting expertise and strategic insights.

What We're Looking For:

• CPA required, with strong foundational training—Big 4 public accounting experience on public companies highly preferred.
• 8+ years of total accounting experience with increasing responsibility, including SEC reporting experience at a public company.
• IPO experience is preferred —either taking a company public or supporting clients through the process.
• Expert knowledge of US GAAP (including ASC 606), SEC regulations, and financial reporting requirements.
• A "player-coach" mindset: you're comfortable leading strategy but also doing the work, especially in a lean, fast-moving environment.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and communicate complex accounting issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• High level of integrity, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence.
• Experience with tools like Workiva, NetSuite, FloQast, or similar is a plus.

The pay range for this role is:

165,000 - 200,000 USD per year (Remote (United States))
