Director of Accounting - Chicago, United States - Peerless Fence Group
Description
About the Company
Peerless Fence Group is a rapidly growing, privately owned business providing residential and commercial fencing in the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast.
The business is run by a recently hired CEO and CFO, who are leading Peerless Fence Group through a period of rapid expansion fueled by organic growth and acquisitions (new geographies and service offerings).
One of the ways Peerless differentiates itself is through partnering with entrepreneur or family owned fencing companies and expanding its growth through marketing and technology initiatives.
About the Role
Peerless is seeking a motivated and experienced Director of Accounting to play a key role in leading and building the accounting function in close collaboration with the new CFO.
This role will be the first hire for the accounting team and as such requires the flexibility and desire to shift between execution and strategy (e.g., executing month end close with the CFO while playing a leading role in the planning and implementation of its new ERP).
This individual must have a strong technical accounting skillset and experience working with Quickbooks.
The ideal candidate will have experience in an operating role at one or more high growth businesses where they developed a "hands-on," pragmatic, and collaborative approach.
This role offers significant opportunity for growth and advancement, including the expectation that an accounting team will be built out in the short term and this position will grow into a leadership role under the Peerless Fence Group and a member of the management team.
The CFO will support and mentor the right candidate into a senior role through his experience building finance teams at multiple PE-sponsored businesses.
The ideal candidate is based in the Midwest or East Coast near a major airport.
Key Responsibilities
Oversee day-to-day accounting operations to maintain accurate financial statements in compliance with GAAP standards
Responsible for consolidation of the individual branch financials from Quickbooks or their ERPs until migrated into the consolidated ERP
Responsible for recording financial transactions, journal entries, reconciliations, adjustments, and other critical accounting items of the Corporate entity
Ownership of the month-end closing processes and its completion in a timely manner
Develop and implement new process and policies, including inventory, controls, and AP/AR
Own AP and AR processes
Play a leading role in the transition from QuickBooks to the new company ERP
Establish, document, implement, and maintain accounting policies and internal controls to safeguard company assets as the business evolves
Prepare the Company for and execute the annual and OBS audits
Build an accounting team in the medium term
Lead accounting processes related to acquisitions, such as purchase price allocations, opening balance sheet preparation, and integration of systems and processes
Play a leading role alongside the CFO in building a high-performing, professional accounting / finance function
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field
5+ years of experience, including at least 3 years as an Accounting Manager in an operating company
Strong technical accounting skills and awareness of when additional outside technical advice is needed
Flexible, pragmatic and collaborative approach to solving problems and supporting the CFO in building the Accounting function
Prior experience with an ERP migration and Quickbooks (for newly acquired sites) preferred
Effective communication and interpersonal skills
Excellent leadership and team management skills
Experience working in an entrepreneurial environment and comfort "getting into the weeds" until the team and processes are built out
Benefits
Competitive salary and performance-based incentives, including cash bonuses
Generous health, dental, vision, and retirement plans
401(k)
Paid time off
Parental leave
Opportunity to build a team with potential for advancement to Vice President
