About the Role
We are seeking a strategic, hands-on finance leader to build and scale a high-performing finance organization for our private-equity-backed, global SaaS business. This role sits at the center of financial strategy, operational discipline, and performance visibility, bringing structure, rigor, and insight to how we plan, execute, and grow.

Beyond financial strategy, you will lead day-to-day accounting operations and GAAP reporting, oversee monthly, quarterly, and annual processes, and strengthen internal controls, audits, and tax compliance. You will manage and develop the accounting team while building scalable processes aligned with private equity expectations and public-company standards.
