  • Experiencedmaintainingand closing books across dozens — or hundreds — of entities on a recurring monthly cadence?
  • Energized by building the execution engine behind a client-facing delivery team, rather than being the face in front of the client?

  • Obsessed with systems, throughput, and accuracy at scale?

We’reseeking a Head of Accounting Execution to own all behind-the-scenes accounting production atAccruity.We’reseparating delivery from execution: our Senior Managers are moving into a dedicated client-delivery role, andyou’llown the team that does the work behind them — closing books, preparing deliverables, andhanding offreview-ready files. Today we close 90 clients across 300+ QBO instances, and we addroughly 6clients and 15 instances every month. Your mandate is to build the execution machine that absorbs that growth — scaling both our onshore team and our offshore partnership — while holding the line on accuracy and close timelines.

WhatYou’llDo

  • Own Multi-Entity Close at Scale –Maintain and close books for 90+ clients across 300+ QBO instances on a reliable monthly cadence, with a system built to absorbroughly 6new clients and 15 new instances per month.
  • Build the Production System –Standardize close workflows, work papers, and quality controls across our stack (QBO,Xenett, Mango, 90.io) so output is consistent, on-time, and audit-ready regardless of who does the work.
  • Scale the Offshore Engine –Continue expanding our offshore partnership toward unlimited capacity, keeping the W2 team focused on final review and clean handoff to Client Delivery.
  • Own Throughput & Quality KPIs –Be accountable for close timelines, accuracy, and capacity — escalating risk early and keeping delivery on schedule as the firm scales.

WhatWe’reLooking For

  • 8+ years in accounting with proven experience scaling and leading a sizable accounting team (controller, global controller, or senior accounting management background).
  • Demonstrated experiencemaintainingand closing books for multiple entities at volume on a recurring monthly cycle.
  • Track recordbuilding and standardizing close processes, work papers, and quality controls that scale.
  • Experience managing blended onshore and offshore (or outsourced) accounting teams.
