Partnered through: FocusPoint Staffing

FocusPoint is proud to represent a fast-growing, tech-forward financial services company in their search for a strategic and versatile Director of Accounting. This is a high-impact leadership role reporting directly to the CFO, ideal for a seasoned CPA with a blend of technical depth, strategic finance experience, and a collaborative mindset.

Role Overview

The Director of Accounting will lead the accounting function, drive financial strategy, and ensure compliance with evolving regulatory standards. This role blends traditional accounting leadership with exposure to CFO-level responsibilities, offering a unique growth path in a dynamic, well-capitalized environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes
• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations and financial reporting
• Manage treasury functions including funding and capital requirements
• Serve as primary liaison for external/internal auditors, especially on revenue recognition
• Ensure compliance with GAAP and other accounting regulations
• Deliver recurring and ad-hoc reporting to internal teams, investors, and capital partners
• Analyze financial data and present actionable insights to executive leadership and board
• Evaluate and improve internal accounting systems and tools to support growth
• Collaborate with CFO and executive team on long-term financial strategy
• Build and maintain relationships with auditors, tax authorities, and financial institutions

Candidate Profile

We're seeking someone with:

• 8+ years of experience in public/private accounting or finance
• CPA certification
• Background in banking, credit, or lending
• Proven leadership in accounting operations
• Experience in strategic finance, including FP&A and modeling
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial regulations
• Proficiency in ERP systems and financial reporting tools
• Analytical mindset and problem-solving skills
• Humble, low-ego leadership style
• Strong communication and storytelling ability

Why This Role Stands Out

• Growth trajectory into CFO-level responsibilities
• Diverse, innovation-driven team culture
• Financial stability with recent capital raise and strong cash reserves
• Performance-based equity potential
• Hybrid work model with flexibility
