    Job Description

    Director of Technical Accounting
    Miami, FL

     
    About the role
    We're hiring a Director of Technical Accounting to serve as the company's primary authority on complex accounting matters. Reporting directly to the VP of Accounting, you'll be a trusted partner to the CFO, external auditors, and cross-functional business teams navigating the evolving accounting landscape.
    This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical depth and business judgment — someone who can read a complex standard, translate it into policy, and drive enterprise-wide implementation.

    What You’ll Do
    Lead technical accounting research on complex transactions, new standards (ASC 606, 842, 350, etc.), and emerging issues — producing clear, defensible position memos
    Own the company's accounting policy framework: draft, update, and operationalize policies across the enterprise
    Partner with Legal, FP&A, M&A, and business unit leaders on deal structuring, revenue recognition, business combinations, and other non-routine transactions
    Serve as primary liaison with external auditors — manage the technical accounting workstream, lead footnote disclosure reviews, and respond to comment letters
    Oversee SOX compliance for technical accounting controls: maintain process narratives, execute walkthroughs, and coordinate control testing
    Drive implementation of new FASB/IASB standards, including project scoping, cross-functional coordination, and executive communication
    Lead intercompany accounting governance, including transfer pricing alignment and eliminations
    Mentor and develop accounting team members on technical topics; build internal capability through training and knowledge-sharing

    What You Should Have
    CPA required; Big 4 public accounting experience strongly preferred
    10+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time in technical accounting, audit, or SEC reporting
    Deep command of US GAAP; familiarity with IFRS a plus
    Proven track record authoring technical accounting memos and presenting positions to auditors and senior leadership
    Experience supporting M&A transactions — due diligence, purchase accounting, integration
    Excellent written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complex issues for non-accounting audiences
    Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-paced environment
    SaaS, marketplace, or PE-backed company experience is a plus

    What You'll Receive
    We offer a competitive total compensation package designed to attract top talent and reward long-term impact:
     
    Compensation
    • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
    Health & Wellness
    • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance — multiple plan options
    • Life and AD&D insurance
    • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
    Time Off & Flexibility
    • PTO —starting Day 1
    • 8 company holidays + full week off between Christmas and New Year's
    • Birthday PTO — your birthday is yours
    • 32 paid volunteer hours per year
    Growth & Development
    • Annual professional development stipend (courses, certifications, conferences)
    • Business travel expenses fully covered
    • 401(k) with 4% company match
