If you’re a technical accounting leader who knows how to scale processes, lead teams, and actually fix inefficiencies—not just manage them—this is one to look at.


We’re partnering with a high-growth, private equity–backed platform supporting a portfolio of well-known consumer brands. This is a high-visibility leadership role with real influence across a multi-entity environment and a clear path for growth.


The Role

This is a hands-on leadership position overseeing the full Accounts Payable function across a complex, multi-brand organization.


You’ll be stepping in to:

  • Own end-to-end AP operations (invoice → payment) across multiple entities
  • Lead and develop onshore (3) + offshore teams (2)
  • Drive process improvements, automation, and scalability
  • Partner cross-functionally with operations, procurement, treasury, and leadership
  • Strengthen internal controls, compliance, and audit readiness
  • Support month-end close, accruals, reporting, and analytics


This isn’t just oversight—you’ll be expected to roll up your sleeves and elevate the entire function.


Compensation & Perks

  • Salary up to $160K
  • 10% bonus
  • Hybrid schedule (3 days remote)
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • 401(k) with company support
  • High-growth environment with clear upward mobility


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Own and transform a critical shared services function
  • Exposure across a multi-entity, multi-brand platform
  • Backed by private equity = growth, acquisitions, and scale
  • Real path to expanded scope into fixed assets, payroll accounting, and corporate entities
  • High-impact role with direct visibility to senior leadership


Who They’re Looking For

  • 8+ years of accounting experience with deep AP expertise
  • Proven leadership of AP teams (onshore/offshore)
  • Experience in shared services or multi-entity environments
  • Strong background in process improvement + automation
  • Advanced Excel skills (you actually use it, not just list it)
  • Someone who thrives in fast-paced, PE-backed environments

  • Seniority level

    Mid-Senior level
  • Employment type

    Full-time
  • Job function

    Accounting/Auditing
  • Industries

    Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals
