Director of Accounting
SolomonEdwards, Cherry Hill, NJ, United States
100% Remote (East Coast Hours) | Monthly Travel to Cleveland, OH
About the Opportunity We are seeking a highly hands‑on, growth‑oriented Director of Accounting to lead the accounting function for a private equity‑backed organization generating approximately $50M in recurring revenue, with an acquisition of a significantly larger firm underway. This role offers substantial upside and leadership visibility, reporting directly to the CFO and playing a critical role in scaling the finance infrastructure through acquisition and beyond. The ideal candidate brings strong recurring revenue experience (professional services, managed services, billing‑based models, or healthcare), proven management capability, and the ability to operate both strategically and tactically.
Why This Role Is Compelling
Key leadership role during a transformational acquisition
Direct partnership with CFO and executive leadership
Opportunity to build scalable accounting infrastructure
Manage and develop a small, growing team
Strong compensation and bonus potential
Private equity exposure
We are looking for someone who sees this as a growth platform — not just a job.
Leadership Scope Direct oversight of a team of 3:
1 Accountant
2 Purchasing/AP team members
Full ownership of accounting operations
Cross‑functional collaboration with Sales, Operations, Finance, and Executive Leadership
What You’ll Own This is a very hands‑on leadership role. The Director of Accounting will both lead and execute.
Core Responsibilities
Oversee all day‑to‑day accounting operations
Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes
Prepare and review journal entries and reconciliations
Oversee payroll processing
Manage sales & use tax filings
Ensure GAAP‑compliant revenue recognition (recurring and project‑based revenue)
Oversee AR, AP, and cash flow management
Support and lead external audit process
Assist with income tax coordination
Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
Develop and implement improved policies, procedures, and controls
Support acquisition integration and process scaling
Required Experience
10‑20 years of progressive corporate accounting experience
Prior leadership or Controller‑level experience
Experience in recurring revenue environments (professional services, billing‑based services, healthcare, or similar)
Strong GAAP technical knowledge
Experience managing or participating in audits
Experience with sales & use tax
Strong systems proficiency (ERP / G/L systems)
Demonstrated ability to lead while remaining hands‑on
CPA strongly preferred
Ideal Profile We are looking for a professional who:
Has leadership presence but is not removed from execution
Is comfortable in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
Thrives in growth and acquisition environments
Is ambitious (7–12 years experience ideal; not 20+ years)
Embraces accountability and ownership
Has a “player‑coach” mentality
