Accounting and Finance Man/Director

We are seeking a hands-on Accounting & Finance Director to lead the day-to-day accounting and FP& A function while bringing a strong operational and analytical mindset to a growing $40M distribution business.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys doing hands-on work in both traditional accounting and financial planning and analysis —using financial data, NetSuite, and process improvements to strengthen controls, improve visibility, and help leadership make better business decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the accounting team and serve as primary finance business partner to the CFO and leadership team
• Own and oversee the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close process, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.
• Own and oversee core accounting activities including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, accruals, and fixed assets.
• Maintain the integrity of financial information within NetSuite and identify opportunities to better leverage the system.
• Oversee and improve inventory accounting, including reconciliations, reserves, adjustments, and inventory-related controls.
• Analyze and manipulate large data sets in Excel and NetSuite to support complex customer billing, reporting, forecasting, and business analysis.
• Oversee payroll administration and coordinate employee onboarding/offboarding, benefits administration, and related HR processes.
• Partner with operations and leadership to analyze gross margin, pricing, inventory, purchasing, freight, operating expenses, and profitability.
• Improve and develop meaningful KPIs, reporting, dashboards, and financial analysis to improve visibility into business performance.
• Own budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, monthly reporting, and variance analysis. Prepare and support lender, board, and private equity sponsor reporting requirements.
• Evaluate accounting processes, systems, workflows, reporting, and internal controls to identify risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities.
• Lead automation, reporting, and process improvement initiatives across accounting, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, inventory management, and financial reporting.
• Serve as a financial partner to operational leaders, translating financial results into actionable business insights.
• Coordinate with external auditors, tax providers, banking partners, and other outside advisors as needed.
• Help establish scalable accounting and finance processes to support the company’s continued growth.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a strong accountant and FPA leader who also thinks like an operator. This person understands that accurate financials are the foundation—but the real value comes from using those numbers to improve margins, create efficiencies, and drive better business decisions.
