What You'll Do

In this role, you will be responsible for:

Technical & Operational Leadership

• Own and manage the general ledger across all domestic and international entities
• Lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes
• Oversee foreign currency accounting and multi-entity consolidations
• Support accounting requirements related to complex debt transactions
• Ensure GAAP compliance and strong internal controls

Systems & Infrastructure

• Serve as the internal NetSuite expert (Oracle NetSuite experience required)
• Lead optimization and expansion of NetSuite during transition from QuickBooks
• Build scalable chart of accounts, ledger structures, and reporting frameworks
• Improve processes and implement automation where possible

Team Leadership

• Manage and develop 2–3 direct reports
• Establish accountability and high performance standards
• Create processes that reduce errors and strengthen reporting accuracy

Strategic Execution

• Partner with leadership to provide clean, reliable financial reporting
• Proactively identify issues and present solutions—not just problems
• Help build the accounting infrastructure for international operations
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes, or outcomes—not just following existing playbooks

At TopDog Law, everyone is expected to think critically, communicate clearly, and take ownership of their work.

How This Role Drives the Business

The Director of Accounting will own and manage the TopDog Law general ledger across all entities. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep technical accounting expertise, strong GAAP knowledge, and significant NetSuite experience.

The ideal candidate is not just a reviewer, but a doer. This individual must be comfortable preparing journal entries, managing reconciliations, solving complex accounting problems, and building scalable processes in a fast-moving environment.

You will report directly to Vice President of Finance & Accounting and oversee 2–3 accounting team members (existing and future hires).

This role is critical to our success because it:

• Directly impacts clients/revenue/case outcomes/team efficiency
• Supports speed, quality, and consistency as we scale
• Helps protect and elevate the TopDog Law brand and client experience
• Strengthens the foundation needed to grow responsibly and sustainably

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6–12 months, success in this role looks like:

• You consistently deliver on commitments with minimal oversight
• You proactively identify issues and propose solutions
• Your work raises the bar for quality, clarity, and follow-through
• You are viewed as a reliable, trusted partner by teammates and leaders
• You contribute positively to team energy, morale, and momentum

Qualifications

Required:

• 5+ years of hands-on general ledger experience
• Proven experience preparing journal entries (not just reviewing others' work)
• Strong GAAP technical accounting knowledge
• Direct Oracle NetSuite experience (expert level required)
• Experience in multi-entity environments
• High attention to detail and accuracy

Nice to Have:

• Public company accounting experience
• Experience with complex debt transactions
• Foreign currency and international entity accounting
• Background in publicly traded or highly regulated environments
• Strong communication skills, written and verbal
• Ability to think critically, prioritize effectively, and execute with speed
• Experience in a fast-growing or high-volume environment
• Comfort with ambiguity and evolving systems
• Experience in legal, professional services, or client-centric organizations

About TopDog Law

TopDog Law is a nationally scaling, fully-integrated, personal injury law firm built for impact, excellence, and growth. We own the client experience end-to-end, from marketing and intake through litigation, because we believe how we do the work matters just as much as what we achieve.

We are building a high-performance, high-trust, no-ego culture where talented people do meaningful work, grow quickly, and take pride in what they build together. This is not a legacy law firm. This is a rocket ship, and we're assembling the team that will take it to the next level.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love taking ownership and being held accountable, and want to be part of something you can help shape, not just maintain, you'll feel right at home here.

Our Story

TopDog Law is not your typical law firm. We believe that world-class marketing, paired with exceptional legal talent and operations, creates better experiences and outcomes for clients and the business alike.

Over the past three years, we've grown 2–3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what's possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now, we're applying that same discipline and innovation to law firm operations, case management, and execution as we scale nationally and fully integrate.

We are intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams needed to scale at a national level—without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability. This is still the early stage of that journey, which means the people who join now have a real opportunity to help shape how the firm operates for years to come.
